State's Sales Tax Revenue up 9.4% According to State Comptroller | |
 Last week, the state comptroller's office gave the House Committee on Ways and Means some good economic news.
This year, the sales tax revenue is up 9.4% from last year. The North Texas region played a role in this resurgence with events like the Super Bowl, NBA Finals and the Texas Rangers.
Apart from the entertainment industry, the oil and gas industry saw a 70% increase in sales tax due in large part to production in our region, as well as, West and South Texas.
In other good news, the state's Economic Stabilization Fund (known as the "Rainy Day Fund") will have an estimated $7 billion by the time the legislature reconvenes in January of 2013 - up from current level of $5 billion.
