Cigarette Tax Hike for Health Care Dies in Committee
From SC Politics Today via The State:
A proposal to raise S.C.’s lowest-in-the-nation cigarette tax and spend the money on health insurance tax credits has failed in the Senate Finance committee.
The proposal, which would have raised the tax by 50 cents a pack, failed 8 to 14.
The committee is now debating other proposal to raise the tax, and how to spend the money.
