Economic Outlook & Revenue Assessment committee co-chairs Rep. Cliff Bayer and Sen. John Goedde are presenting the joint panel's recommendation to JFAC this morning. Bayer noted that the recommendation includes "that we maintain some flexibility in looking at these numbers as they come in." Goedde said, "January's a big month for this state in revenues."

The panel's recommendation for revenues for this year and next year matches the governor's budget recommendation. "There was only one motion that was considered and voted on by the committee, and it had bipartisan support," Bayer said.
