Substantial Record For Scranton Budget Proposals Debate
Scranton's first budget tops 1,121 billion while funding teachers' raises and economic development. Contested proposals include raising the state sales tax from 4 to 4 percent and extending it to clothing and shoes, a plan Republicans resisted, yielding a 5 percent levy on existing items and the nation’s highest sales tax. Cigarette taxes rise to 8 cents a pack and liquor levy up 50 percent. Scranton backs a plan linked to Sen Thruston Morton’s convention push to revise the Kentucky constitution, a measure narrowly rejected by Illinois voters, amid a broader campaign to gain delegates.
