Vermont House cool to Salmon tax plan despite cut
Vermont lawmakers clashed with Governor Salmon over tax hikes as revenue projections improved. Speaker O'Connor and Leader Candon opposed new taxes this year, warning a five cent cigarette tax would push sales across state lines. Salmon trimmed proposals to add tobacco, alcohol, fuels and ads to the sales base, while maintaining a one cent meals and rooms tax increase. Strong opposition remained from Sens Boylan, Westphal and reps Giuliani and Snelling.
