bill Tuesday that would remove the state sales tax from grocery
sales.
The House voted 63-38 to approve the proposed constitutional
amendment that would lower the overall tax bill for low and middle
income state residents, while increasing taxes for the more
well-to-do taxpayers.
If the measure receives final approval in the Senate, Alabama
voters will decide the issue in the Nov. 4 general election. To
make up for the lost grocery store tax revenue, the amendment would
end the state income tax deduction for federal income taxes paid.
The bill received the exact number of "yes" votes needed - 63
- to pass a constitutional amendment.

Great Point! I guess I was under the assumption that there would not be any tax levied against groceries. I certainly will not be voiting for this, and I will keep traveling to Florida to buy my groceries (and lottery ticket, to better their schools with).
