The North Carolina Tax Study Commission proposes expanding revenue via tobacco and gasoline taxes and other measures to fund state and local needs. If enacted, a one cent sales tax could raise millions for Guilford, Greensboro, and High Point, while a 10 percent income tax could boost county and city budgets. The report urges careful statewide consideration over piecemeal local taxes and favors a per capita statewide approach.
