General Fund Tax Revenues Below Estimate Again
Each month, the Senate Appropriations Committee prepares an update about the state’s financial health. The most recent report shows that General Fund tax revenues were $90.7 million lower than the monthly estimate in May, the third time in the past five months that tax revenues have failed to meet projections. For the 2022-23 Fiscal Year, which ends June 30, Personal Income Tax collections are nearly $400 million below projections. The full update, including the monthly revenue report, is available here. Watch Out for This Rental Scam
The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General warns people in the market for rental properties to be aware of sophisticated scammers placing fake ads and altering existing, legitimate ads to obtain personal information, security deposits and rent payments. Protect yourself by being wary if you cannot physically see the property. Avoid purchasing gift cards for payment, providing your Social Security number without verifying with whom you are dealing and wiring payments for application, security deposit or first month’s rent.

Nonprofits and local governments can take advantage of an investment opportunity offered by the Pennsylvania Treasury Department.

Thank you, Luis, for all you do for your customers and community.
