Fiscal distributions, not economic indicators: these are the dollars the Florida Department of Revenue paid this government in each month, after the state's own deductions and adjustments, on the Department's payment schedule. They do not measure sales, income or activity in the area. Lag: A distribution is posted on the day it is paid, so the current month is partial until its last payment run; a month is complete once the following month has begun.
