When seeking a raise in the cigarette tax, why not go BIG and raise the tax to $3 per pack as our neighboring state Illinois? What are we afraid of? The benefits to our state would be huge on so many levels.
And start the process at the beginning of this Legislative session – not a few days before the end. Be bold, look forward, Hoosiers lives and health would be better served.
The points in this article for raising the sin tax on cigarette products would also apply to another product that is also causing high costs to our State economy and tragic damages to our communities . That product is ammunition . Put a sin tax on that !! Now there is a new funds raising idea for you ! If only our bought politicians had nerve to put the people’s well being above the gun lobbyists money .
