Hair-Breadth Decision Forecast On State Sales Tax
In Charleston the West Virginia House debates a Senate approved sales tax hike, 54-40, to fund a teachers salary increase and education programs. The plan would raise about 9 million dollars yearly, with over 6.5 million for teacher pay by lifting the levy from two to three cents. The vote follows a night altercation involving Speaker Flannery and Delegate England, which could influence sentiment. If defeated, the House could still consider an 11 million dollar severance tax on coal and resources, though that measure faces uphill fight in the Senate. The Senate returns to consider executive appointments and the state Liquor and Turnpike Commissions, while the House proceeds with the education package.
