ATLANTA (AP) -- Anti-smoking advocates say they know a way to
help fill the state's $1 billion budget shortfall: hike the tax on
cigarettes by $1.
They'll hold a rally at the state Capitol on Monday to promote
the plan. Among those set to attend is Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the No. 2 medical officer for the American Cancer Society.
The plan wasn't given much chance of passing when the
legislative session began in January. But the state's steadily
worsening fiscal picture has legislators scrambling for additional
revenue. More than 60 co-sponsors have signed onto the bill in the Georgia House.
They'll be answered on Tuesday when anti-tax activists hold
their own gathering at the Capitol headlined by Grover Norquist,
president of the Washington D.C.-based Americans for Tax Reform.
