State revenues continue to exceed expectations. According to the Office of Budget and Management (OBM), the state’s September 2021 General Revenue Fund (GRF) tax receipts came in $94 million or 4.5% above estimate.

The Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) posted the October 2021 Public Library Fund (PLF) distribution of $38,142,303 — which is $8.53 million (+ 28.79%) above ODT’s original estimate that was issued in July 2020. The PLF Calendar Year (CY) 2021 year-to-date total is $387,017,969.

A look at the PLF distribution for the past three years and a link to an Excel spreadsheet listing each county’s distribution total for October 2021 can be found on the OLC website.
