State Tax on Cigarettes Now Expected
Santa Fe, Feb 18 AP Swinging into the last three days of this session under resolution to adjourn, the legislature faces raising about 350,000 more revenue. A three cent per package tobacco tax on cigarettes is expected to bridge the gap. Democratic leaders see the measure passing, despite a historical referendum against tobacco taxes, citing it as an appropriation bill, an emergency measure, and directed to schools as the main reasons it would not be subject to referendum. The session ends with passage of a bill enabling the governor to classify employees and fix salaries, prompting attacks labeling it as Hitlerism or Mussolini-like power, though supporters argue the governor should bear the responsibility. The House approved 27 to 19, sending the bill to the governor. an identical Senate measure was previously reported unfavorably, with amendments limiting the governor’s power to changes subject to state approval.
