Legislative Republicans used their weekly media briefing to discuss their concerns about taxes.

Highest on their priority list are the temporary sales and income taxes from 2001 that could be extended for another two years. The tax extension could be part of the House budget plan expected next week.

House Minority Leader Paul Stam, R-Wake, outlined the case against the temporary taxes.

Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, shares similar concerns.
