State Payments Narrow Portage Budget Deficit


From the Northwest Indiana Times:

...

Clerk-Treasurer Chris Stidham told the committee that because of the state's economic development income tax collection error in 2011 and this year the city was shorted $416,732 and has been repaid that sum. In addition, the city's economic development income tax fund will receive a $400,000 bump in revenue this year.

That got the EDIT fund deficit down to zero and lowered the city's overall anticipated deficit this year from $1.9 million to $1.3 million, Stidham said.
