BOSTON (AP) - Massachusetts Tax collections have come in
slightly over expectations in October.

Revenue Commissioner Navjeet Bal said Wednesday that preliminary
revenue collections for October totaled more than $1.2 billion.

That's $22 million above the monthly benchmark based on revised
tax revenue estimate for the current fiscal year.

It's also up $72 million or 6.3 percent from last October.

October is one of the smaller months for tax revenue
collections.
