Joan A Volpe’s sixth sales tax package by a 21 29 vote, with Nuciforc and Hammond among a minority supporting the tax. House Speaker Daveren planned a new conference to bridge gaps on an eleventh hour plan amid warnings that thousands of state workers face payless days if no bill passes.

Gov Volpe’s sixth sales tax bill dies in the Senate 21 to 19. The main path to resolving the tax impasse lies in two bills passed this month, one from the House and one from the Senate. The House bill would raise about 116 million dollars while the Senate measure would bring in around 158 million.
