A look at the current system and how it could be changed is explored.

Governor Scott proposed in the legislative budget to increase the gross premium tax on insurance companies doing business in North Carolina.

Abstract:
The number one issue in the spring legislative primaries will be the sales tax on food. Although the issue is more pronounced in some counties than others, there is no other one issue of state-wide importance which even approaches it in interest. There is no liberal-conservative division in the food tax controversy, and there is no correlation between the controversial tax and the spirited primaries and election of two years ago.
