Revision of Georgia fiscal set up amid liquor repeal defeat
Georgia officials pursue a revised fiscal set up as the liquor repeal defeat narrows revenue to about 18 million dollars a year for the state. Governor Rivers projects funds from minor fees and state programs to cover a 20 million dollar July 1 appropriation while talk of a sales tax surfaces in political circles. Speaker Roy Harris recalls urging taxation of liquor or sales to finance social security but declines to comment on current plans. The legislature adopts amendments to tax classification and personal property exemptions and considers extra sessions to shape funding for old age pensions and social security benefits. Weather notes follow. Traffic pages show Georgia and surrounding forecast details.
