Coal Tax Revenue Expected to Fall
(2009-09-01)
(Kentucky Public Radio) - Revenues from Kentucky's coal severance tax are likely to drop by a quarter this fiscal year. That prediction is from the Chief Economist in the State Budget Office, Greg Harkenrider.

In a web cast by Kentucky educational television, Harkenrider said this year's record-breaking collections probably can't be duplicated.

Harkenrider believes the state will collect $220 million in severance taxes this year.
