In a glimmer of good news, Georgia has ended its 15-month skid of negative revenue numbers.
Though overall tax collections in March rose by just 1 percent over 2009, it's the first positive signal on revenue collections since November 2008.
However, the numbers, reported by Gov. Sonny Perdue's office, aren't nearly enough to make a dent in the state's budget woes.
"While we are always cautious about reading too much into a single month's revenue report, the March numbers are certainly encouraging," Perdue said in a statement. "Springtime in Georgia always brings us the Masters and the Braves' opening day, and I am hopeful we are also seeing the first buds of economic recovery."
