Turner Tax Bill Faces Strong Opposition in Olympia
A large business lobby converges in the state capital to challenge Senator Turner’s gross sales tax plan. The proposal, recalibrated to tax only retail sales at 1 percent, aims to shift real estate burdens but faces fierce opposition from chambers of commerce and border counties. If enacted, revenue is projected around 15,000 dollars, with many arguing it would harm farmers, manufacturers, and mail order firms while not affecting consumer tax at all.
