will receive a la* rebate in their
state income taxes
Opponents to the measure say
the tax demands too much of
the poor and the elderly, no
matter what provisions the hill
adds
State Rep. Carl Hosticka, 0
Etigene. supported the tax by
saying it could raise much-need
ed" money for schools and stabi
lize a state budget in havoc
because of fluctuating income
from dependence on the income
tax.
Bentley said without the sales
tax to stabilize schools, the
state s future could become hazy
because the state could not
attract as many income-produc
ing residents without quality
public schools.
"With no money for public
education to pay for schools,
we're not going to attract people
in the future." he said

grades kindergarten through 12 and for community colleges.
