West Virginia House Predicted To Pass Cigarette Tax
Charleston AP The administration cigarette tax bill, already approved by the Senate, was expected to pass the House by a comfortable margin. The measure would delay a 5 cent per pack reduction to June 30 1963 and maintain a 3 percent sales tax rate on goods over 1 dollar for another year, funding most of the next budget. AFL-CIO opposition targets the extension and a counter bill would cut the rate to 2 percent while repealing certain business exemptions. Governor Barron has pressed lawmakers on coal pipeline bills, hearings finished but no committee action yet.
