Tennessee eyes 2-week tax holiday for restaurants, groceries

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP/WKRN) — Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee is proposing a $100 million, two-week sales tax holiday on restaurants, bars and groceries, as his administration looks to divvy up hundreds of millions of dollars in extra spending due to better-than-expected revenues during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    What kind of bullsh*t feel good measure is that? 2 week tax holiday? These people really have nothing but time on their hands. Surely they can do better, but choose this virtue signal BS.

      Tennessee doesn't have a state income tax. Gotta pay for infrastructure somehow.

    Why not remove sales tax on groceries permanently??? Would help out everyone's cost of living

      If they did that, Tennessee would institute a state income tax to pay for everything.

      Florida doesn't charge sales tax on unprepared food, and we're doing fine.

    And this is the same Tennessee that can't get a sales tax exemption for the purchase of gun safes out of committee for the last six years.
