New Jersey’s revenues exceeded Governor Chris Christie’s projections in April for the fifth month in a row.

The state budget is exactly like a family budget; you can only spend what you have.

Revel started off slowly last year -- and things have gotten worse since then.

When will New Jersey really have its comeback?

The latest revenue outlook for New Jersey indicates that the governor's revenue projections could be off by more than a half-billion dollars at the end of the next fiscal year.

For the third month in a row, the New Jersey’s revenues exceeded initial forecasts. Overall, February revenues were $156 million, or 9.5 percent, ahead of forecasts. The State Treasury Department credits a second month of strong sales tax collections combined with the continued over-performance of the state’s income tax collections.

Revenue at Atlantic City's casinos was down more than 13 percent in January compared with the same month a year ago.

While State revenue collections are up ever-so-slightly over last year, they are far below what Governor Chris Christie projected says Dr. David Rosen, the top budget analyst with the non-partisan Office of Legislative Services (OLS). He says halfway through Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 revenues are lagging a little over $705 million behind the Governor’s estimates.

Taxes and fees are being collected at about the same rate as last year, missing targets by $451 million midway through New Jersey's fiscal year.

New Jersey officials say Superstorm Sandy held down state revenues for November as people cut back on driving, shopping and gambling.
