Food tax package tied to state budget debate
The food tax provision is part of a broader $200 million tax-increase measure that also raises income taxes for some residents and boosts the gross receipts tax on services. Governor Richardson weighs a possible line-item veto and faces a budget shortfall as the bill links to the state budget’s $230 million-revenue goal. The food tax would net $68 million next year, while separate action would add $33 million from a 75 cent cigarette tax hike.
