State tax collections continued strong in May and kept the state on track to end the year millions of dollars in the black.
The continued growth, particularly in sales taxes, reflects a solid economic recovery in Virginia. But it also provokes political disputes about the need for one-point-four billion dollars in new taxes the General Assembly approved in April.
It's the third straight month that revenue collections exceeded the state's official expectations.
