Tax Increase May Be Asked
Gov. John J. Gilligan considers a stopgap sales and excise tax hike as a temporary measure since any reform would not aid schools for at least two years. He would propose this option if needed, while endorsing longer term taxes on corporate and personal incomes. The plan would shift emphasis from real estate to wealth sources such as corporations and personal income. The existing 4 percent sales tax covers most items except food, services, and medical spending, with excise taxes on cigarettes liquor beer and horse racing.
