Major Tax Measures On Agenda for Augusta Hearing
Two 1961 legislative session tax items face public scrutiny at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Augusta. A sales tax increase from 3 to 4 percent and an enabling act to let municipalities impose sales taxes would be reviewed. Gov. Reed pitched the rise to raise 14.9 million for the coming biennium, with no exemption changes. Proceeds would fund education subsidies, a state employee pay raise, construction for educational institutions, and offset railroad tax relief losses. The local tax bill would provide a new nonproperty revenue source, capped at 1 percent in addition to the state levy. The Transportation Committee will hear testimony Tuesday.
