Sales tax up for 12th consecutive month, Combs reports

The state collected 9.9 percent more sales tax in March -- or $1.6 billion -- than in the same month a year earlier, Comptroller Susan Combs reported Wednesday.
It was the 12th consecutive month of year over year increases, after 14 wicked months in a row of decreases.
