Hope Star Editor Pushes Tax Reform Again
HOPE AP reports Alex H Washburn longtime editor of the Hope Star says a sales tax increase may reemerge and criticizes tax structure. He aided Arkansas 1935 tax law then opposed later shifts and argues reassessment and lower rate with broader coverage could stabilize values while burdening the poor less. Washburn plans to oppose any new sales tax in the legislature and may pursue petitions to refer tax measures.
