Delaware lawmakers are crossing their fingers for a last minute influx of cash when state officials release the final pre-budget revenue forecast Monday afternoon.
The state’s economic outlook has continued to skid for months, with a projected $55.2 million dollar gap in May. That was up $18.1 million from April.
State budget officials also rolled back more than $104 million current fiscal year spending.
Joint Finance Committee members plugged those holes last month by delaying a proposed state employee raise and by shuffling costs from the general fund to different revenue streams.
The Delaware Economic and Financial Advisory Council will meet for the final time Monday before the fiscal year ends June 30th.
