Projections of future state revenues really are highly uncertain!
This graph shows the Department of Revenue's 10-year projections for state revenues
for a six-year period-and what actually happened. Note that the projections for the
future changed widely from year to year! Note that usually the projections were pretty
close to actual revenues for the year the projections are made in (except in FY 2008) but
they were usually way off by the second year of the projections.
