adn.com: JUNEAU — The Alaska House voted Saturday to institute a state personal income tax geared toward high-earners — a milestone for a majority caucus that pledged to fix the state's budget crisis, even as their proposal appears to face minuscule odds of passing the Senate.
All 22 House majority members — 17 Democrats, three Republicans and two independents — voted for House Bill 115, with 17 Republican minority members opposed and Big Lake Republican Rep. Mark Neuman absent.
The legislation remains subject to a reconsideration vote before moving to the Senate.
