State Senator Chris Telfer of Bend says the State's Revenue Forecast is coming out today, and she's not very optimistic: “Unemployment is up. Other things look more promising; but I think what they'll say is that we are holding our own, which is a problem.” She explains that's a problem because our State budget for the next two years anticipates some improvement in the economy. If the economy doesn't improve lawmakers will have to address those budget shortfalls this coming February.
