Indiana Supreme Court Asked To Rule On Sales Tax Vote
Indiana AFL-CIO attorney Lloyd DeWester Jr. asked the Indiana Supreme Court to consider whether the 1963 sales tax bill passed with a constitutional majority. He claims a 24 to 24 tie plus a lieutenant governor vote was illegal and that the court should review how the bill became law. The court gave DeWester a deadline of Aug. 30 to file a brief, with responses due from Governor Welsh and Revenue Commissioner Courtney.
