“There is no bigger proponent of this proposal [to untax groceries] than Alabama Arise, the Montgomery-based nonprofit that advocates for the state’s low-income residents,” The Anniston Star writes. “At its core, it offers a simple solution: eliminate the statewide sales tax on groceries and replace the lost revenue to Alabama’s budgets by ending the state income-tax deduction for federal income-tax payments. That tax break, Alabama Arise says, ‘overwhelmingly benefits the richest households.'”
