Demo Vote Needed Is Promised In Harrisburg
In Harrisburg, Senate leaders forecast passage of a 3 percent sales tax proposed by Republicans to raise about 320 million dollars in 14 months. Senate Republicans expect all 26 Republican senators to support the levy, while Democratic leaders express continued opposition in principle but indicate some members may vote for revenue measures. The package, part of a larger 442.14 million dollar plan, narrowed disputes over clothing taxing to limited items such as formal wear, enabling quick consensus after drafting revisions.
