hearing on sales taxes before the

these legislators feel that Sc
lectlve sales tax on ''luxurieS"
such as liquor, wine. beer, and
pershaps tobacco is very likely.
Proponents Of the sales tax
called some Of the states top
business and civic leaders to
testify at the hearing. T hey
pointed out the need for t h e
Commonwealth to spend more
on public services. Most of the
opposition to the sales tax came
from the lower and middle in
come groups. Earlier in the
week. when it became apparent
that his 3 per cent sales tax
would not pass the Assembly.
Gov. Almond proposed a 2 per
cent levy in a last ditch effort
to rescue the sales tax.
