Vermont lawmakers propose pet and recreation tax hike plan
Vermont faces a shrinking budget and two House Democrats unveil a 3.5 million tax increase plan. It calls for a 3 percent pet food levy, a 2 percent rise on recreational activities, adding the 3 percent sales tax to cigarettes and wine, and restructuring auto purchase taxes. The plan aims to raise about 2.75 million, with potential scaling back if revenues exceed expectations. Senate and House leaders express caution, and a possible summer special session is discussed if deficits persist.
