second time to begin debate on a bill to remove the state sales tax
on groceries.
Democratic state Sen. Hank Sanders of Selma tried to get the
bill up for debate Thursday. But he fell one vote short of the
three-fifths majority needed to begin debate. Sanders made a
similar effort April 30 and fell three votes short. Sanders said he
plans to try again before the legislative session ends.
The bill is a proposed constitutional amendment. It would remove
the state's 4 percent sales tax on groceries and it would raise the
threshold where a family starts paying the state income tax from
$12,600 to $20,000. The bill would replace the lost revenue by
eliminating the state income tax deduction for federal taxes paid.

Thanks Democrats in congress for increasing the Minimum wage by $2.10 an hour. Another example of extemely poor decision making by a bunch of ignorant Democrats and the uneducated voters that voted them in office.
Any consumer that has a lick of economic awareness should know that by increasing the min wage by $2.10 you have decreased the buying power of a dollar. So if you earn $15.00 an hour, in time you will be back to $12.90 an hour. Are the Democrats going to make it manditory to increase every working American’s hourly wages $2.10? Why no. Is your employer going to automactically increase your hourly $2.10. Aint going to happen. Why do you think the Minimum Wage has been the same for so many years? DUMB DUMB DUMB.
Just in time for $4.00 a gallon gas and high food cost.
And here is another Democrat trying to get the working person
another decrease in the value of their dollar.
Keep on voting them in. We will all be poor before it is all over.
