AUGUSTA (AP) – A legislative staff analysis says key components of Maine’s General Fund revenue look hardy heading into the final two months of the fiscal year.

The monthly OFPR report adds, however, that high fuel prices may have a detrimental effect on the collection of consumption-related taxes in coming months.

For the short term, though, the staff analysis suggests that the revenue picture for General Fund seems positive.
