2009-06-19 10:28PDT (13:28EDT) (17:28GMT) Erica Alini _Wall Street Journal_ Worsening the economic cycle, extortion rates up in 23 states, expected in 13 more <http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2009/06/19/taxes-are-up-in-23-states-exp\ ected-to-go-up-in-13-more/?mod=rss_WSJBlog?mod=marketbeat"> "a recent survey of 37 states found that revenues from income taxes fell by more than most states' legislators expected in the first 4 months of 2009."
