Cigarette tax hike advances in Senate committee
A Senate committee approved a proposed cigarette tax increase with no Republican support. The plan would raise the state tax by 50 cents per pack annually over two years from the current 98 cents. It faces an unclear path to a full Senate vote and a House likely to reject higher taxes to avoid cross-border smuggling. Nearby border area Sen. John O Jones warned revenue gains may be limited. Video gambling legalization to fund construction has stalled as many locals banned it.
