Republicans on the ways and means committee tentatively backed four revenue measures to raise 1.5 billion dollars over two years including a sales tax, a tax on stock exchange transactions, a higher income surtax, and a 15 percent hike on cigars and tobacco. The party delayed final action and planned a conference April 30 to align on soldier relief legislation, while Rainey accused the plan of favoring millionaires and warned the sales tax would raise living costs.
