The tax cuts are now being con sidered by the Senate Finance Com mittee, which is expected to recom mend border cuts in the inventory and intangibles taxes than the House approved. Neither Martin or Jordan would discuss details of the negotiations But according to several legislative sources, Martin wants total repeal of the intangibles tax before backing any bipartisan package.

A listing of all delinquent taxpayers is scheduled to be published in next week's edition of The News Record. The town is facing bond payments totaling $30,251.25 on June 1. Town officials had been hoping to use some of the $80,000 in Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) funds remaining from the sewer project to make the bond payment, but ap "We have not awn much support in the Senate for the sales tax on food," said Martin. In a last ditch effort to rescue the sales tax repeal proposal, state AFL ClO President Christopher Scott and spokesmen for the North Carolina People's Alliance, a 9-year-old liberal lobbying group, held a joint new con ference Thursday. "The issue of tax reform has dominated this legislative session but the question of tax relief for the state's low-and-moderate-income citizens has been all but ignored," said Travis Payne, a spokesman for the alliance. Martin also disclosed that his own political action committee has been attempting to build public support for his tax package. Martin said the committee sent 40,000 letters to supporters around the state urging them to write legislators to support his tax cut proposals parently won't be allowed to do so.

"It is absurd to reduce taxes on a product that has caused major in creases in recent years in health care costs while at the same time significantly increasing the premiums paid the elderly for health care," Bradley said. Helms said that passing the Bradley proposal would be a breach of faith made by the Congress in 1982 when it doubled the cigarette tax. At that time. Congress adopted an amendment by Helms to "sunset" the additional 8 cents this year. Helms said that the excise tax should be the prerogative of the states and that the federal drop in the tax would allow states hard hit by the budget cuts to replace the revenues. Sen. Wendell H. Ford, D-Ky., predicated most states would raise their state Cigarette taxes if the federal tax is reduced. The 8 cents added in 1982, Ford said, "will never go off. It's whether you want to keep it here or at the local level."
