Can a Governor of a state increase the states sales tax?
Maryland's governor is contimplating increasing the Maryland State sales tax from 5% to 6% to compensate for the deficate in the budget. Is this legal for him to do? How many other states have done this?

Governor can go to state legislatures and say to them that the state needs to raise more revenue. State legislatures have to decide what to do though. Governor can try and take credit, or pass along the blame, for whatever has been decided, so that the Governor can look good. It's all politics. Governor doesn't have the power to actually pass the legislation, but only can either sign it, or veto it. But if something is popular with the public the Governor will try to take credit for it, and if the public doesn't like it then the Governor will say, I wasn't the one who passed it.

Of course its legal, the Governors go the legislature of the state and they ask for the legislature to approve and increase in state taxes. Its up to the legislature to approve it or disapprove it. I've never heard of a governor of any state doing it on his own, state constitutions usually specify that budgets and state taxes have to go through their state legislatures.

Sales taxes are increased in every state on a regular basis; Usually the state legislature has to apporve it

Normally the state legislature sets the rate. The governor has to approve the legislation. If he or she vetos it, the legislature has to override the veto.

In most jurisditcions the executive branch submits the proposed budget to the legislature. The legislature either approves it as submitted by passing a law to that effect or submits their own budget.

The governor cannot do it by himself -- it will require an act of the legislature.

the governor may propose BUT it is up to the state lawmakers in the state to approve any increase and/or cut on any kind of tax. whether it be gas tax, sales tax or income tax, the legislators in the state have to approve the tax first and ONLY then can the Governor sign, amend or veto any tax legislation that comes to his desk.

Governors can propose laws but the state legislature would have to act on the proposal and pass a bill.

6% is still rather reasonable for a sales tax.

It would need to be passed by the state legislature, then the governor would sign in to put it into law.
