Governor's tax plan advances to Senate floor debate
Sanford seeks to reduce the top state income tax rate from 7 percent toward 4.75 percent over a decade with initial cuts delayed until 2006 and tied to revenue growth. The Senate plan tightens targets to 4 percent revenue growth before tax relief, while restoring agency cuts and allocating 1 percent to repay a deficit. Local Democrats push to delay, while Republicans call the plan a middle ground.
