A group of anti-tax, pro cut Republicans in the House, named the “Caucus of No” by the Governor are standing their ground, defending their move to block any move to renew a portion of expiring sales taxes that hit June 30th. Jackson Representative Kenny Havard blamed the group for the legislative gridlock.
TOPS is facing a 30 percent cut, and higher ed is looking at 96 million dollars in reductions if additional revenue is not raised.
But Chalmette Representative Ray Garofalo stands by his colleague’s decision to prevent any portion of the one point four billion in expiring taxes to be renewed. Garofalo says he’s proud of the title “The Caucus of No” because that no stands for no new taxes.
