House Committee Bets on Sunday Sales Revenue for 1986 Budget
The House Ways and Means Committee in Columbia moves to add 3.2 million from Sunday sales to the 1986 state budget, backing blue law relaxation. They also seek to repeal the inventory tax and grant 4 percent pay raises, while cities and counties face no tax on new business growth once the inventory tax ends in 1987. The panel expects more funds from surplus retirement and Education Improvement Act allocations, and envisions a 24 million reimbursement to localities over three years.
