Over hear they are getting ready to raise the tax 25 cents. The governor is all for it. Of course, he also endorsed McCain. (Rolling my eyes.)
This will increase theh price of a pack of cigs by $1.36
There is a dollar tax increase, and the bill raises the Minimum Price Allowed by 36 cents.
They are saying the money is for healthcare, but I had an email from a University employee today who told me his Finance Office has already told him that his budget at the U will be cut if the cig tax increase doesn't go thru.
I have my deep freeze half full of cigs. I will drive to Missouri to buy my cigs when the freezer goes dry. I will not give the state my tax money for this tax increase.
