The
association representing 470 cities and towns wants lawmakers to pass legislation that would give municipalities — and
not just counties — the authority to adopt local option income taxes.
The group also wants to give all cities
and towns the ability to levy a food and beverage tax or an innkeepers tax up to 1 percent. The initiatives would give cities
and towns new income options to offset revenue losses from new statewide caps on property tax bills.
The next legislative
session starts in January.
