It highlights discrepancies in revenue figures identified by the Office of the Comptroller (CTR) compared to those in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for Fiscal Year 2025.

The report provides detailed revenue estimates and actual collections, indicating that total tax revenue is projected at $33,170,900, with actual collections at $14,883,766, and non-tax revenue totaling $24,873,500 with actual collections at $12,244,959.
