Legislative push for tax revamp to fund security and parks
A Arkansas governor proposes a heavy state revenue package to fund a maximum security unit at Cummins, 21 parole officers, park expansions including a DeGray Reservoir project, and a 20 percent aid boost to cities and counties. Revenue ideas include income tax brackets, sales tax on used goods, auto repairs, removing exemptions, and real estate transfer tax. The plan faces House support but Senate resistance, with ongoing debate and calls for public input.
