CRI & RFCI Help Kill Proposed New Jersey Tax on Fl

Dalton, GA, July 18--The final New Jersey budget and related legislation passed by the legislature was signed by the Governor on Saturday, July 2. The legislation does not include a sales tax on carpet and other flooring installations or any of the other proposed new sales taxes. CRI worked closely with the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) to have this provision removed from the New Jersey budget. The lobbying campaign included testimony by Keith Campbell, chairman of Mannington Mills, at a Senate appropriations hearing. CRI was successful and helped leaders in the New Jersey Assembly stick to their no new sales tax pledge.
