Just a week earlier, on Feb. 12, Hosemann had presented a $326 million tax cut package that he said would cut taxes over the next four years but said it needed to be “sustainable.” It includes reducing the state income tax and the sales tax on groceries, and also proposes raising the gasoline tax to pay for road work.
