SENATE MAY REVIVE TAX ISSUE
HOLBROOK MOHR, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

JACKSON - The Mississippi Senate today will consider reviving one of the biggest issues of the 2007 legislative session - a plan to slash taxes on groceries and increase taxes on cigarettes. Some lawmakers say the matter could come down to a few votes.

 

A so-called tax swap bill died last week after a legislative deadline passed and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Tommy Robertson refused to let the measure out of his committee. But Sen. Travis Little, R-Corinth, announced on the Senate floor Monday that he will ask for a suspension of legislative rules today to file an identical proposal.

 

Little said that a new tax swap bill could be introduced with two-thirds approval of a resolution in the House and Senate. That's the same margin that would be needed to override an expected veto by Republican Gov. Haley Barbour.

 

Barbour vetoed two similar measures last year, and lawmakers couldn't muster enough support for an override.

 

The resolution is Senate Concurrent Resolution 621.
