Hoff Praises Tax Group and Attacks Sales Tax Plan
Gov. Hoff praised an independent citizens committee on taxes while criticizing opponent Richard A. Snelling and disputing revenue figures for a 3 percent sales tax. Hoff argued receipts would total about $360 million taxed, yielding $11.5 to $12 million after exemptions, with administration costs around $600,000. He called the committee a group of outstanding citizens, many Republicans, and challenged the report’s conclusions.
