South Carolina Car Tax Cut Tied to Education Funding Plan
Gov. gubernatorial comments frame a staged car tax reduction proposed by Lt. Gov. Bob Peeler. The plan would cut car taxes to 50 percent by 2004 with state reimbursement to local governments and schools, funded by new growth in revenue and initial $54 million plus $75 million yearly installments. Critics from Municipal Association warn of yearly revenue declines and a cap limiting funds for localities. GOP leaders link tax relief to stronger schools amid debates on bond referendums and private-sector growth expectations to boost tax revenue.
