Scranton’s Tax Program Faces Fight
Scranton’s tax plan draws little public criticism as it seeks a two cent cigarette tax hike split over two years and a sales tax recommendation. The measure was referred to Willardt’s committee after Easter recess, with a committee meeting possible if GOP leaders approve. Gov. Scranton’s hints on exempting children’s shoes and clothes were viewed cautiously by Republicans.
