Willisms - State government coffers are filling up once again. Tax revenues are once again up thus far in 2006.

The Great Lakes states and New England, mostly blue states with relatively high state tax burdens, saw the slowest revenue growth, while parts of the country with a more low-tax libertarian streak experienced the fastest revenue growth.
