The remaining additional revenue should be used to restore critical services in human serivccs, education and correc tions programs that other wise would have been cut. “ We cannot continue business as usual and spend all the money that comes in,” Governor Roberts said. “ Our economic ouiltxfk is now strong but there arc uncertainties lurking: the timber and salmon protection plans and the national recession may hurt Oregon’ s economy further. We must save a sig nificant rainy day fund to protect us if such troubles arise.” Slate Economist Paul Warner and the Budget Director Paul Warner com pared the new forecast to the revenue forecast available in December, when the Governor prepared her budget. Under current law, the state w ill have $163.9 m illio n more than the economist predicted in December. The slate is taking in more personal and corporate income taxes because o f the healthy economy. Stale agencies also arc spending less through the end o f the 1989-91 budget period, leaving more money available in 1991-93. The Governor is urging the Legis lature to repeal the 2-pcrcent. A t the time she prepared the budget, w hich incorporated a repeal o f the 2-pcrccnt. A t the lime she prepared the budget, which incorporated a repeal o f the 2- perccnt kicker, the economists predicted that the kicker fund would be $127 m illion. The May estimate is up by $53 m illio n , to $180 m illio n . O verall, the state is anticipated to have $217.1 m illio n ($163.9 under current law, and $53.1 from the kicker) more than the G overnor expected in December, when she o rig in a lly pro posed the 1991-93 budget. ¡Sr .1 - ■ ¿ y 7 *- » • • (• i* iV ax, t í •„•■J r.?
