Localities to share 2 percent sales tax under new bill
The Almond administration proposes a 2 percent sales tax with a 50-50 split between localities and the state plus a 10 percent liquor tax and 1 cent beer tax raise. Localities would share about 55.7 million over two years based on school age population, while the state gains 22.6 million from liquor and 7.4 million from beer. The measure omits income tax exemption increases and capital tax cuts, but keeps business tax changes.
