Senate approves tax bills amid tax hike push
The Senate last week approved a sales tax increase from 2 cents to 2 percent and a 2-cent tax on cigarettes. The measures would raise about 24 million and 10 million dollars respectively. If the House approves and the Governor signs, both would go to voters for final approval, as would a proposed 75 million dollar bond issue. The Democrat majority avoids direct tax increases, preferring citizen approval.
