Staff Report
(Reuters) – House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner on Thursday caved in to a growing chorus of criticism from both within and outside his Republican party and agreed to a short-term deal to extend a payroll tax cut for 160 million Americans.
In a major reversal that appeared to end a standoff with Democrats, Boehner told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid he would set a vote in the House on a Senate-passed two-month extension of the payroll tax cut.
Some Alabama lawmakers want to repeal the OT tax exemption to pay the private school tuition for rich families.
House Bill 238 would introduce a $10.64 tax on every prescription filled in the state.
Alabama is one of 13 states in the country that still impose taxes on groceries.
Only Tennessee had lower tax collections per capita, and that is excluding the state lottery, which would put Alabama dead last.
