Alabama lawmakers edge toward midnight adjournment
Montgomery AP. Alabama legislators return at 5 p.m. for the final meeting of the current special session. The session, seven weeks long, aimed to raise funds for schools with three tax measures passed and awaiting Gov. Wallace’s signature. A personal income tax increase is unlikely. The measures would raise sales tax, beer bottle tax, and corporate taxes to fund junior colleges and trade schools, with a constitutional amendment seeking higher corporate tax and standby measures limiting deductions. A general appropriations bill will be considered in the regular session kickoff.
