Residents Oppose Sales Tax Plan
More than half of Pennsylvania residents oppose Governor Ed Rendell's plan to change the state sales tax.
That's according to a new poll released today by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
53 percent of the more than 1,400 people surveyed don't like the plan that would decrease the tax from 6 percent to 4 percent but would tax more items and services.
The Governor's Budget Office projects the sales tax reform would raise more than $530 million in the new fiscal year. Under current plans, all of that money would be set aside in what's being called the "Stimulus Transition Reserve Fund."
