Sales tax cut passes house
February 20, 1997 By: Elizabeth J. Zack State Capital Bureau
The House passed a bill that would mean one of the largest tax cuts in Missouri history today.
Liz Zack has the story from Jefferson City.
In a vote of 144 to 0 the house passed a bill that would eliminate the 3% sales tax on groceries.
The bill that moved swiftly through committee also moved quickly through the house due largely to its bipartisan support.
The bill's sponsor, house majority leader Steve Gaw notes the bill's unique role.
The bill would save the average family in Missouri 137 dollars each year.
The house tax cut bill will now head to the senate for a final vote.
From the state capitol, I'm Liz Zack.
