Miss. Gov.: Tax Changes May Include Cigs

The Forbes, 5/10/7

Gov. Haley Barbour said Wednesday he wants to overhaul the state tax structure in the next few years, and he didn’t rule out a cigarette tax increase if it’s part of a package that helps reduce Mississippians’ overall bottom line.

Barbour said he is willing to consider raising some taxes only if it’s part of a comprehensive tax-reduction plan.
