密苏里州盈余可能会在2028年消失,除非削减开支,并警告审计师斯科特·菲茨帕特里克。 Missouri’s surplus may vanish by 2028 unless spending cuts are made, warned Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick.

密苏里州审计师斯科特·菲茨帕特里克警告说,除非削减支出,否则国家的一般收入盈余可能会在2028年前耗尽,因为2026年财政短缺4亿美元,收入下降2.1 % — — 这是2020年以来首次在经济衰退之外出现这种下降。 Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick warns the state’s general revenue surplus could be depleted by 2028 unless spending is reduced, citing a $400 million shortfall in fiscal 2026 and a 2.1% revenue decline—the first such drop outside a recession since 2020. 他将压力归因于五年内支出增长45%,而收入增长45.8%,而联邦援助和通货膨胀推动的收益逐渐减少。 He attributes the strain to spending growing 45% over five years while revenue rose 45.8%, with federal aid and inflation-driven gains fading. 税收变化,包括取消密苏里州资本增益税,以及联邦资金减少,预计会拉大差距。 Tax changes, including the elimination of Missouri’s capital gains tax, and reduced federal funding are expected to worsen the gap. 衰退可能会将耗减加速到2027年,预计短缺额将达38亿美元。 A recession could accelerate depletion to 2027, with a projected $3.8 billion shortfall. Fitzpatrick敦促立法者现在就采取行动,避免紧急削减,因为到2025年11月,资金余额下降到34亿美元。 Fitzpatrick urges lawmakers to act now to avoid emergency cuts, as the fund balance fell to $3.4 billion by November 2025. 总督Mike Kehoe计划在1月13日公布紧凑的预算。 Governor Mike Kehoe plans to unveil a tight budget on January 13.
