Nome Senator Denounces Sales Tax
As4T Trustiee’ to Northern Alaska
JUNEAU, iff)—A proposal for a
2 percent sales tax ctn all retail
sales and services in Alaska came
out of the Finance Committee of
the Territorial Senate Tuesday.
Instead of making the usual
recommendation either for or
against approval, the committee
suggested the Senate hold an ex
ecutive session to discuss the bill.
The measure was introduced
last week by Sen. John Butrovich
(R-Fairbanks). He proposed if as
the solution to what he railed the
territory’s financial emergency,
' especially in the matter of in

The Senate session Wednesday
wound up as a general session of
financing and taxation.
Senate President Victor Rivers
pictured the sales tax as a means
! open to local communities to raise
i revenue. He said many cities in
j Alaska already have committed
themselves to a sales tax to fi
nance capital improvements. He
said a territorial sales tax would
double their tax load.
The same opposition to the
sales tax was voiced by Sen. Wil
liam Beltz, a Nome Democrat. He
said he felt the 2 percent sales tax
would be an injustice to the
northern sections of Alaska.
Butrovich repeated his earlier
estimate that a sales tax would
raise $8 million the first biennium
but he added:
“I don’t have a closed mind. If
this isn’t the way to raise needed
revenue, then the Legislature
should kill the bill.”
