Hoff outlines tax plan to fund state program
In a special session Hoff presented a $3 million legislative agenda funded by new taxes. A graduated income tax for state aid would raise about $2.5 million, with thousands paying taxes for the first time. A capital gains tax would yield $500,000, plus changes for withholding employers and insurance premiums. An unclaimed property law would bring in $250,000 upfront, with recurring $25,000 yearly. The rooms and meals tax would be amended to remove the under $1 food levy, costing $240,000, while liquor under $1 remains taxed.
