Proposal: Remove 4% sales tax on milk, eggs and bread

(The Center Square) – Removing the 4% state sales tax on bread, milk and eggs is in a proposal from Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton. The bill, cosponsored by House Republicans William Lamberth of Portland and Tim Hicks of Gray, does not include a fiscal note indicating how the bill would affect tax collections, according to the General Assembly's website. If it passes the General Assembly and is signed by the governor, it would take effect on July 1, 2027, according to the bill. Local sales tax, up to 2.75%, can be added to the state levy. Depending on the county or city, the total tax is 5.5% to 6.75%. Tennessee gets roughly $800 million in revenue from the state tax, according to state finance records. Sexton told The Center Square in an interview Oct. 27, before the bill was filed, that grocery taxes would be one of the issues lawmakers consider when they convene the 2027 legislative session. "We'll look at the grocery sales tax, maybe reduce it on some items like food staples and so forth or eliminate it altogether, continue to make our state attractive, continue investing in public education," Sexton said. "I am sure there will

TN groups aim to restore South Fork of Forked Deer River floodplains

Conservation groups are celebrating the acquisition of 985 acres of land along the south fork of the Forked Deer River in West Tennessee to help restore the area’s natural landscape. For more than a century, low-lying floodplains near Jackson have been drained to accommodate railways, highways and row-crop farming, exposing residents to flash floods and disrupting wildlife habitats. Kendall McCarter, chief development officer for the Tennessee Wildlife Federation, hopes to see the return of towering oak and hickory trees and aquatic species, like mussels, to help filter the river. "To think that we can bring that back to this area of the community that is really not very attractive but also ecologically lifting what is there, is just really cool," McCarter emphasized. McCarter credited a coalition of conservation groups working with area residents to secure the state’s purchase of the land. He said once the flood risk is minimized, the public can help plan and develop the rest of the project. Some of the ideas being floated include recreational trails, a nature center and new areas for kayaking. The West Tennessee River Basin Authority is developing a restoration timeline, which also includes public education about rivers and floodplains. The project
