Memphis Finance Director Roland McElrath gave members of the City Council good news Tuesday: 2007 revenues are expecting to exceed expenditures by over $23 million. Thatย’s an almost $13 million improvement from the cityย’s last forecast, a change due to local taxes, state taxes, and transfers from MLGW outperforming early estimates.

Long story short? ย“From a revenue perspective,ย” said McElrath, ย“weย’re having a very good year.ย”
