Arkansas House Eyes Tax Hikes And Cocktail Lounges
The Arkansas House debated a wide tax package including a 50 percent sales tax rise and a one cent gas tax increase to fund schools welfare and highway projects. A separate measure would legalize cocktail lounges in wet cities of 90000 plus with strict limits and up to 1500 annual licenses. The chamber also considered labor dispute reforms a utility bond proposal and unemployment benefit increases. House action followed Senate approval to delay rate increases and potential refunds, while other bills targeted utility service accessibility and labor law changes.
