Tax debate moves on in Senate over sales tax plan
Senators discussed additions to a sweeping tax bill on Monday, voting to exempt prescription drugs and repairs of railroad rolling stock from sales tax. An amendment to remove sales tax from vending machine sales under 15 cents failed. The Senate plans a conference committee with a rewritten bill contrasting House provisions that avoid tax hikes on sales but raise income taxes. The two sides clash on school funding formulas and local property tax limits.
