From LJWorld.com:
And it could be argued Brown’s vote wasn’t needed because the tax bill was finally approved in the House on a 64-61 tally.
But Brown said he felt he had to vote for the tax increase because earlier he voted for the spending in the budget. It would have been wrong to vote for the spending and not for the tax bill, he said.
The tax vote will be front and center in the upcoming legislative elections. All 125 House seats are up for grabs.
Anti-tax groups promise to make an issue of the vote to increase the state sales tax from 5.3 cents per dollar to 6.3 cents for three years. In 2013, the tax is scheduled to decrease to 5.7 cents per dollar, with a portion of the revenue going to help fund the new state transportation plan.
