The overwhelming margin was fairly uniform throughout the state and high income as well as low income precincts rejected the tax. The vote was 49,SS3 to 64,935 with 99.1 per cent of the precincts reported. This was the seventh time the people have refused to allow the state to impose a sales tax. The last time was 2 years ago. The proposal was for a 3 per cent sales tax with receipts earmarked for the benefit of property owners. Tied in with it were a higher excise tax on corporations, a higher tax base for school districts and some benefits for the elderly. The proposal was initiated by the Republican majority in the Legislature. Democrats opposed it. A little less than 60 per cent of the registered voters cast ballots.
