Gumm Promises New Grocery Tax Push

Senator Jay Paul Gumm, D-Durant, says he'll continue his fight to eliminate the sales tax on groceries in the 2009 session of the Legislature.

That word comes as others offer proposals that also would impact the sales tax, thus ensuring it is likely to be hot topic next year.

Gumm's proposal to eliminate the tax was introduced for the 2008 session, but died at the hands of those opposed to it.
