50-cent hike in cigarette tax gets OK
Proposal passes by 2 votes as bill likely to head to Sanford - who promises
veto
By JOHN O'CONNOR - joconnor@thestate,com
House lawmakers narrowly approved a 50-cent a pack increase to the state's
lowest-in-the-nation cigarette tax, capping a seven-year push by advocates
to raise a tax that has stood pat for three decades.
The bill would use about half of the estimated $160 million raised to expand
Medicaid health coverage for the poor, while the about half would help
low-income workers buy health insurance policies. Advocates estimate the
plan will cover at least 80,000 additional state residents.
