West Virginia Legislature Stays Course on Sales Tax Extension
The State Board of Public Works supports continuing the 3 percent sales tax to fund a 1962-63 budget of 141.3 million dollars. An extra 9.5 million from the third penny would support the aged Medicare program, revive the Emergency Employment Program, and aid state road debt. Senator Carson expects the tax to persist and hearings will precede any action on the pipeline. Democratic leaders anticipate public hearings, and Brotherton suggests a yearlong committee study on a proposed 100 million dollar line from northern West Virginia to the East Coast.
