Salmon tax plan study continues in Vermont
In Montpelier Vermont Democratic Gov Thomas Salmon and Republican leaders inch toward compromise as lawmakers study his revenue forecasts and tax plan. A sales tax hike to 4 percent faces opposition from House Appropriations Chair Emory Hebard who proposes other measures while delays on budget cuts cloud potential action. First quarter revenue rose 7.42 percent with $33.2 million collected, signaling possible improvement in sales and income taxes though education funding remains a flashpoint.
