Bumpers vetoes three tax exemption billsed
Gov. Dale Bumpers vetoed three bills that would exempt items from Arkansas sales and use taxes. The Reynolds Metals aluminum reduction power use exemption and the paper mill chemical exemption could cost about $1 million yearly. He also vetoed a tax break for rentals of recorded audio and video tapes by television stations. He said exemptions must prove justification and that the chemical catalysts are not within the basic manufacturing exemption.
