State revenue $62 million more than last year



DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) _ State officials say tax revenue for the first seven months of the fiscal year is $62.6 million more than in the previous year.
    
The Legislatives Services Agency says the revenue from July 1, 2011, through the end of January represents a 1.9 percent increase.
    
The agency says the growth is largely due to increases in personal income, corporate and sales/use tax receipts.
    
Total revenue for this fiscal year is estimated to be $5.9 billion, a 1.8 percent increase over last year.
