Governor Knight seeks higher cigaret and liquor taxes
In Sacramento Governor Goodwin J. Knight announced plans to ask the legislature for a new two or three cent tax on cigarettes, raised beer taxes, and possible increases in horse-race levies and liquor taxes. He outlined a $75 million luxury tax package to balance the budget without depleting reserves, warning that failure to raise taxes could force much larger measures later. He noted a two cent per pack cigarette tax would yield about $38 million and a three cent tax about $16 million, with a 10 percent tax on other tobacco products. He said wine taxes would not be raised. Knight stressed the need for revenue without harming California’s economy, and cautioned opposition from labor groups and some legislators. If enacted, the tax plan aims to avoid future large tax hikes and preserve state finances amid a record budget.
