- Description:
- Depression-era Governor Benjamin Meek Miller proposed a tax package to the 1932 Alabama legislature as a means of boosting the state's income to fight the economic disaster. Conservative business leaders defeated the proposals in that year, plunging state finances into chaos. In January of 1933, Miller called the legislature back into special session and, in the aftermath of widespread school closings, it grudgingly passed a new tax program (including the state's first income tax).
