Washington, DC – According to a new report by the U.S. Census Bureau, state tax collections are up $62 billion, and all 50 states have seen an increase in total tax revenue in fiscal year 2011. Stateline reports that this is an improvement over 2009 and 2010, when, due to the recession, states took in nearly $66 billion and $14 billion less, respectively.
Former Kansas governor Mark Parkinson, President & CEO of the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) responded with the following:
“As a former governor, I understand the relief it must bring to states who are finally seeing an uptick in their revenues after the toll of the recession. Through our budgets, we set priorities, and through priorities, we make a difference in the lives in citizens. I hope that as states continue to grow back their revenues, they examine their priorities and ensure that the care of the frail, elderly and disabled are at the top of their list.
