New Jersey tax collections during the month of June met Governor Christie’s lowered targets, according to data released Thursday by the state Department of Treasury.
The state collected nearly $3 billion in June, just about $50 million more than was projected when Treasury officials lowered the official revenue forecast in May.
For the fiscal year that ended on June 30, tax collections came in less than 1 percent above the administration’s lowered forecast.
Overall revenues grew by more than 6 percent over the prior fiscal year.
