If Rhode Island's statewide sales tax is broadened to include more goods and services than it does today, Rhode Island's 7-percent sales tax rate should be lowered

That is the finding of Governor Carcieri's tax-reform panel, which met today at the State House in Providence. The panel stopped short of formally recommending a broad overhaul of the state's sales and use tax; some panelists disagreed over whether more items should be subject to the tax.
