Budget Debate Delayed On Tax and Budget Plan
Augusta AP House Republicans delayed the next move on the sales tax hike and a record 243 million budget to Friday at 10 am. The plan would add 16 million to Gov Curtis’ recommended spending and include a cigarette tax rise. The Senate already approved one GOP amendment 23-9, with a second to push tax hikes into the package. Enactment as an emergency would need 101 votes, likely next week.
