State budget writers are sharpening their pencils after the latest revenue projections.
The state Department of Revenue says the state has brought in 462-million-dollars less in tax money than the budget expects this fiscal year.
That's a drop of more than two percent from projected levels.
Governor Charlie Baker is expected to work with his budget staff to close the gap before the end of the fiscal year June 30th.
