Arkansas lawmakers debate Act 113 revenue impact
Rep Cayte Wildsor of Little Rock challenged state estimates about Act 113 of 1967 which exempts certain machinery from the 3 percent sales tax. The Revenue Department says the annual loss could reach up to five million dollars, while critics argue the figure is overstated and unsubstantiated. Cantrell of Associated Industries mocks the department’s numbers as unrealistic. The debate follows Faubus era critiques and calls for a thorough study before legislative action. Winston Churchill’s role in the Gallipoli defeat is noted as historical commentary.
