罗得岛州税收预估上调1.09亿美元 当选州长称2027-28财年仍面临2.6亿美元赤字
罗得岛州本年度第二次、也是最后一次税收与个案量预估会议11月11日得出结论：本财年州税收预期比6月州议会通过创纪录的157亿美元预算时高出1.09亿美元。现任州长丹·麦基称这一数字是对州财政状况的肯定，但关键议员与当选州长海伦娜·福克斯均持谨慎态度。州众议院财政办公室预估，2027-28财年州政府面临约2.6亿美元的预算赤字，且数字还在扩大。福克斯11月11日在记者会上表示，她将于明年2月4日向州议会提交新财年预算提案，新财年自明年7月1日开始，她的预算须在增收预期与赤字压力之间取得平衡。众议院议长克里斯托弗·布拉热耶夫斯基与参议院议长瓦莱丽·劳森也对新预估作出回应，强调财政缺口仍是下届议会首要难题。
Rhode Island Revenue Estimate Raised by $109 Million; Governor-Elect Says FY2027-28 Still Faces a $260 Million Deficit
Rhode Island's second and final revenue and caseload estimating conference of the year concluded on November 11 that state revenue for the current fiscal year is expected to come in $109 million higher than when the legislature passed a record $15.7 billion budget in June. Incumbent Governor Dan McKee called the figure a vindication of the state's fiscal condition, but key lawmakers and Governor-elect Helena Fox were cautious.
The House Fiscal Office estimates the state government faces a budget deficit of about $260 million in fiscal year 2027-28, and the figure is still growing. Fox said at a November 11 press conference that she will present her new fiscal year budget proposal to the legislature on February 4; the new fiscal year begins next July 1, and her budget must balance the higher revenue expectations against deficit pressure. House Speaker Christopher Blazejewski and Senate President Valerie Lawson also responded to the new estimates, stressing that the fiscal gap remains the top problem for the next legislature.
