Comptroller Haynie noted that October 2009 collections were 9.8 percent lower than October 2008.

“The comparison of October 2009 to October 2008 is worse than the three percent decline we reported with the September 2009 collections. This month’s revenues do not indicate that the recovery we are looking for is close at hand,” Haynie added.
