There’s fear, but there’s no need to panic, cautioned Holly Lyons, one of a three-member Revenue Estimating Conference that predicted state tax collections would grow by $76.1 million above the current expectation but would slow to 1.8% growth next fiscal year before rebounding to 4.1% in fiscal 2022.
