AROUND THE NATION; Ohio Raises Sales Taxes, Covers Labor Charges
AP
The largest tax increase in Ohio history went into effect today, raising the sales tax and adding taxes to such things as automobile repairs and installation of cable television.

The $1.3 billion package is part of a $13.5 billion budget for the state government for two years.

It went into effect at 12:01 A.M., nearly five months after the last permanent budget expired.

The sales tax is increasing 1.1 percentage points; the old tax was 4 percent. Smokers will pay 2 to 5 cents more a pack. Soda drawn from a fountain at fast-food restaurants or at sports events will cost at least another penny, and possibly as much as 6.5 cents more. Now included under the sales tax are labor on repairs, including automobiles and home improvements, and car washes."
