Legislation To Seek Tax Break For School Items

  • {Frankfort, Kentucky}...Republican state Representatives Julie Raque Adams of Louisville and Donna Mayfield of Winchester promised Monday to file legislation in the upcoming January session that would lift the state's sales tax for one weekend shortly before the start of each school year. Their proposed exemption would be extended only to school supplies, clothing, computers and printers. Twenty other states, including Tennessee and West Virginia, offered a period of tax-free shopping this year.
