Adcock Sees Failure for One Cent Sales Tax Plan
Monroe senator Jamar Adcock predicts the amended one cent sales tax bill will fail in the Senate as 14 senators oppose it. The measure would need 26 votes in a 39 member Senate and 2 thirds in both houses, amid opposition to any new general tax. Adcock argues funds should come from other sources and notes local districts already can levy taxes for teacher pay. The bill was amended to divert revenue to old age benefits and avoid a voter referendum.
