Parkinson urges increases in state sales and cigarette taxes to fix a 400 million shortfall. The plan would raise the sales tax to 6.3 percent for three years then 5.5, with new highway funding, and raise the cigarette tax to 1.34 per pack. Schools and higher education would gain funding, Medicaid cuts would be reversed, while Republicans seek budget cuts without losing federalMatching dollars.
