Sales tax proposals held up by eight months school term delay
In Raleigh on February 24 the North Carolina legislature stalled as committee leaders failed to agree on extending the state school term from six to eight months. The House education committee opposed the extension while the Senate backed it. Proponents estimate the extension would cost about 17 million dollars annually versus 21 million now. Leaders warned a sales tax is likely needed to balance the red budget. Willard Dowell of the NC Merchants association called the sales tax plan unique outside Pennsylvania. The Senate also moved to finalize a bill affecting the state corporation commission.
