Tentative Tax Package to Council in Arkansas
Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller sent a tentative prison finance package to the Arkansas Legislative Council. It includes a 20 percent excise tax on cigars, a real estate transfer tax, an unclaimed property act, and sales tax on purchases by banks. Revenue is pegged at 1.87 million by July 1, 1969, near the state Board of Corrections request. Some legislators proposed broader tobacco taxes and localized tweaks. Higher education funding is debated with a plan to shift 2 million from a revolving fund to public schools, aiming to preserve all of Allotment A and portions of Allotment B under the Revenue Stabilization Act.
