Huebsch says GOP has conceded on cig tax increase

Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch, R-West Salem, said today that he has offered to compromise on the tobacco tax increase proposed by Gov. Jim Doyle. But, he says, the concession was greeted by Democrats at the bargaining table as "just not enough."

Huebsch has long hinted in interviews that the cigarette tax increase is the "most palatable" of the tax increases proposed by Gov. Jim Doyle and Senate Democrats.
