Revisions of Revenue Estimate Increased Legislative Load
The 1955 North Carolina General Assembly faced a heavier tax burden as revenue estimates fell and the budget swelled from 637 million to 64114 million for the biennium. Gov Hodges trimmed new tax needs to about 9.8 million while lawmakers adopted a mix of sales, beer, tobacco, and fuel taxes to balance the budget. The final plan exempted farm use from sales tax and adjusted various levies, with a net increase of 9.77 million and several sector-specific changes across building materials, vehicles, hotels, coal, and insurance.
