State Comptroller Bob
Bullock ha* sent state
lawmakers a research
report showing Texas
exempts more items from
its sales tax base than
nearly any other state.
“Right now we're exem-
pting from the sales tax
about twice as much as
we’re collecting,’’ Bullock
said. “We collect about <4
billion a year and exempt
about another $7.6 billion
more.”
Bullock said the Texas
Limited Sales, Excise and
Use Tax now exempts all
services, such as
remodeling and dry
cleaning; almost
everything that is taxed
under other statutes, such
as cigarettes and gasoline;
materials used in manufac-
turing and supplies and
machinery used in fanning
and ranching.
“The Legislature has
been adding to the list of
exempt items nearly every
time they have met since
we adopted the sales tax in
1961,” Bullock said. “This
year, they’re liable to be
headed in the other direc-
tion, cancelling some of
these exemptions to raise
more revenue. Together
with the revenue alter-
natives document I have
sent them, this study com-
paring our state sales tax
policy with policies in other
states is the best set of tools
\W Juneis J
J daily [
monthJJk
I can give them for making
decisions about our state
tax structure.”
Bullock cautioned
Legislators about
wholesale cancellation of
the exemptions, however
“When you look at exem-
ptions, you’ve got to ask
yourself why some things
are taxed and some things
are not. For instance, we
don’t tax necessities like
groceries or prescription
medicines so that we won’t
put too much of our state
tax load on the poor people
who are the least able to
pay. And that’s as it should
be.”
To The Voters In District II, I Express My Sincere
Appreciation For The Support You Gave Me In The
Run-Off Election For State Representative. I Will
Represent All The Counties In District II And Will
Welcome Your Input. I Appreciate All The People
Who Supported Me In Any Way. I Am Deeply
Grateful To My Old Friends And Am Pleased To Have
Made Many New Friends During My Campaign.
Again, Thank You For Your Confidence In Me. Please
Feel Free To Call On Me At Any Time I Can Be Of
Service To You As Your State Representative
Sincerely,
CLIFF JOHNSON
We hope you get
something great
for Father’s Day
...like love.
