As required by statute, the IFO submitted an economic impact report for the Eastern Sectional Synchronized Skating Championship in Dauphin County (January 2025) to the General Assembly. The analysis finds that economic activity related to the event generated $2.6 million in statewide spending and $102,000 in select state and local taxes.

The IFO published a budget brief that uses the latest SNAP benefits data for December 2025. For the second consecutive month, the data show that the number of enrollees declined by 160,000 (-8%) from the prior year as new work requirements took effect.
