Among the big states, Florida and Texas are the state governments that have suffered the largest drops in revenues. But if they want to turn down federal assistance, good for them.
Changes in state tax revenues in the pandemic period (April-December 2020) compared with same months in 2019:
California: +1.2%
Texas: -10.4
Florida: -11.3
NY: -4.1
Pennsylvania: -3.1
Illinois: -2.0
Ohio: -0.9
NC: +2.1
Georgia: +1.9
Michigan: +0.3

The states that got hammered were the ones with big fossil fuels sectors (TX, ND, AK, OK), big tourism sectors (NV, HI, FL), and a high reliance on sales taxes.
