Faubus tax plan advances with senate hearing set
Arkansas tax measures move forward amid a package to raise 22 million dollars for education and welfare. The sales tax would rise from 2 to 3 percent, income tax revisions and severance tax hikes are proposed, plus a driver license fee increase. Senate and House committees debate timing and method, with a public hearing announced for the sales tax bill Monday night. The vote tally signals potential passage next week, as administration bills seek to expand revenue across services and goods.
