The numbers you report are way off.
Fiscal year 2020 (as used by state governments ended June 30, 2020
Alaska fell 33.6% many times what you report via WSJ.
From the Pew Trusts:
“State highlights
A comparison of inflation-adjusted tax receipts reported for July 2019 through June 2020, the budget year for most states, with fiscal 2019 pre-pandemic totals shows:
Among the 43 states in which tax revenue fell, four had declines greater than 10%: Alaska (-33.6%), North Dakota (-13.2%), Oregon (-12.3%), and California (-11.1%). Four had losses of less than 1%: Kentucky (-0.2%), Illinois (-0.4%), Wisconsin (-0.7%), and Tennessee (-0.9%). California’s drop excludes substantial income tax receipts that were delayed, although at least some of that money was applied retroactively to the state’s fiscal 2020 budget.
West Virginia (-8.7%) recorded its greatest percentage decline in at least 25 years. The state had flat to negative growth in all four quarters, but it also was missing its April income tax payments because of the filing delay.”
