House Leaders Consider Raising Sales Tax
Jackson, Miss.
Mississippi legislative leaders could propose raising most sales taxes from 7 percent to 9 percent in a plan to increase road and bridge funding.
It would remove most or all grocery sales taxes.
House Transportation Committee Chairman Charles Busby says he’s considering a sales tax increase but wouldn’t provide further details. He could introduce a bill Thursday.
