Abstract

"Politics and Other Mistakes" piece on the state sales tax, describing a proposal by Sen. Joe Perry (D-Bangor) and Rep. Richard Woodbury (I-Yarmouth) to expand the sales tax to cover groceries, heating fuel, recreation and many services. The extra revenue generated would be used to lower the sales tax rate from five to four percent, and to create a flat-rate state income tax of six percent.
