Warner last reported the state's
budget surplus at 918- million dollars.

Yesterday, after meeting with
state finance leaders, he estimates
that number has increased by nearly
270- million.

Lawmakers says the surplus is
fueled by corporate, non- withholding
income and recordation taxes...

All sources of revenue that are
hard to predict.

State money committees will
announce how they plan to spend the
money this weekend.

Governor Warner urges fiscal
