Senate Votes to Renew Sales Tax in Endgame
The Arkansas Senate amended the 1937 two percent sales tax to continue indefinitely, passing 24 to 1. If the House approves Crawford's amendatory measure, Governor Bailey will have the present levy in force as other sales tax bills die with the session near end. The move aims to avoid a lapse on July 1, 1839, and keep funding through the welfare and old age funds.
