COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - State officials are expecting to get a clearer picture of how short the state is falling on tax collections.
The Board of Economic Advisors meets Monday to review tax collections from June - the final month of the last fiscal year.
The state has been running about $80 million behind estimates as sales taxes and other revenue sources fall short.
A final word on an expected shortfall is to come next month when the comptroller general closes the books on the nearly $7 billion budget. That will help the state determine how much money needs to be taken out of reserve accounts to patch budget holes.
