"Revenue in last month declines; $243m below state estimates; could force more cuts and layoffs" by Matt Viser, Globe Staff | October 3, 2009

Governor Deval Patrick announced yesterday that the state’s September revenues came in $243 million below expectations, a shortfall that is worse than initial projections and could trigger hundreds of millions of dollars in budget cuts and layoffs....

The Patrick administration has used Fridays to make a series of bad-news announcements. Over the last four weeks, news has included the resignations of Transportation Secretary James Aloisi, Kirwan, and the release of a report on generous perks received by the heads of the state’s quasi-public agencies.
