Joint Conference Group Deadlocked On Tax Issue
Harrisburg reports a six member joint House Senate conference committee failed to reach agreement on exempting utility services from the 3 percent sales tax. Rep Charles C Smith and Rep Allett Gibson pressed for the House GOP position with two other Republicans in the group including Sen Mahany and Rep Readinger and Sen Denit. Senate leaders indicated no ready acceptance and stressed that compromise is needed to justify the committee's existence. The measure had come to the conference after the House approved a Senate revenue plan aiming to raise 42.5 million dollars with a 3 percent occupancy tax proposal included for hotels and lodging.
