(AP) — Alabama House Republicans on Tuesday threw their support behind a proposal to raise taxes while cutting and consolidating state government to solve the state's looming general fund budget crisis. More than a dozen bills comprise the House proposal, which would also include an agreement with the Poarch Band of Creek Indians for revenue in exchange for expanded or exclusive rights to run bingo games in the state. "This plan works to revolve our budget shortfall by continuing to right-size state government and implementing the same kind of cost-cutting measures that any public sector business in the same financial situation would utilize," Clouse said. House Minority Leader Craig Ford, D-Gadsden, said the plan is "just a cover-up for buzzwords for taxes." "Since 2010 all they've done is legislate morality for the last five years, and now they're actually having to handle the lead and this is the type of package that we see, just taxing the average Alabamian," he said.
