State tax collections down again

ATLANTA - State tax collections have dropped again. <br> <br> They were down in January for the seventh month in a row. But the state&#39;s economist says the dip was expected - and it won&#39;t cause the governor to change his spending plans. <br> <br> The state took in $1.3 billion for January. That&#39;s down $81 million, or 5.7 percent, from the same month a year ago. <br> <br> Governor Barnes has recommended $215 million in spending cuts in the current budget to make up for the sluggish economy. <br> <br> He also wants a $1.3 billion debt-financed building program to help jolt the state out of the recession.
