S. Paul, MN (KROC-AM News) - The state revenue review for the month of May was the first in many months to report that state tax collections failed to meet expectations.

The Minnesota Office of Management and Budget says the state’s general fund revenues came in at just under $1.87 billion last month. The total was $7 million, or less than half of a percentage point, below the level predicted by the most recent state revenue forecast.
