Kennedy proposes sales tax cut faces cautious review
Gov. Thomas P. Salmon's tax adviser Norris Hoyt questions a 1 percent sales tax cut proposed by House Speaker Walter Kennedy. Hoyt doubts revenue losses of nearly $8 million can be afforded and urges focusing on property tax relief for open space lands. He notes the rebate provision moderates regressive effects and warns big business may benefit from a cut. The administration will study tax reform as part of broader property tax relief efforts.
