Morgan Solons Wait On Taxes
After weeks in a special session on schools Alabama legislators propose a 51.5 million dollar annual education revenue plan. Key measures include raising the corporate income tax rate to five percent and a three percent sales tax on utilities. House Speaker Albert Brewer hails the package as fair and broad with one or two exceptions. Senator Bob Gilchrist notes uncertainty in the Senate until the House acts. He adds a group of about 15 Senators agree no general legislation will pass until education funding bills move forward. The beer tax fate remains uncertain as the House plan to fund five new trade schools and junior colleges could be blocked.

Enthusiasm Lacks for Utility Tax Measure in Alabama
A House bill in Montgomery proposes a 3 percent sales tax on utilities to fund schools, but utility managers oppose it. Garner Pride argues higher costs and billing complications if enacted, while George Godwin questions applicability to municipal utilities. Quince Eddens notes it may not concern his department, yet collecting would occur if passed. The measure, approved by the Ways and Means Committee, would tax telephone water gas and electric bills and raise about six million dollars yearly with an industrial exemption.
