restraint ended Friday Sine die adjournment capped the legislative day which saw lawmakers vote an income tax cut for while sustaining Gov J James Eton's veto of a which would have forced an increase in stale sales and income tax rates next year to finance increased stale financial support of public schools Also falling short were moves lo override two other late Exon vetoes including a veto of portions of a capital construction which departed from governor's recommendations Two separate motions on to increase the level of state school funding from 14 lo 50 per cent in he next three years fell one vote short ot the 30 needed in the body The to reduce Ihc state individual income lax rale from 15 to 13 per cent of one's federal income lax a comparable reduction in corporate tax passed on a vole The lax cut approval came in the face of Exon's recommendation lhal any lax culling made possible by higher lhan expected revenue from current sales and income lax rates lie deferred until next year which happens lo he nn election year for the governorship and half of the legislative seals Exon planned lo announce Saturday morning whether he will approve or veto the tax cut retroactive lo Jan 1 The session's end precludes a override All in all Exon scored well in Ihc legislative game al the windup although he was left with a session record of six vetoes sustained six overturned In other highlights legislators on the final a motion by Sen Terry Carpenter of directing the stale to the of Ihc former Hiram Scott College in accomplishing by a motion what was not a Carpenter with the same general objective was vetoed by the governor liquor price-fixing by enacting a prohibiting retail selling at less than wholesale cost plus 15 per cent markup Another approved eliminates the

next year and million in subsequent years lo pass bills Which would have increased the level of aid lo dependent children ADC payments at a cost next year of million Viewed in perspective 1073 session was marked by remarkable adherence to the budget recommendations of Gov Exon who out as late as Friday in a lo a 1 have been fighting for three years to keep expenditures and taxes in line and I don't propose lo give up now On April 1C the Democratic governor told legislature if his budget recommendations were followed and new spending proposals were rejected a reduction from 15 to 10 per cent in the income tax rate might be year Some the legislature saw this as an lo make the legislature responsible for any failure to achieve a lax cut In reaction senators adopted with relatively few changes the Exon budget and shelved a of spending bills which could have disturbed lax cut prospect Some described it as an attempt lo make the governor live with a budget which could prove inadequate Tentative figures from the legislature's fiscal office indicate the legislature authorized million of spending from the supported general fund and about million from all funds The comparable figures a year earlier had been million and approximately million respectively Altogether the legislature passed bills out of 022 introduced left Cfi in various floor positions lo be held over for disposition next year and left another 42 in committee for or later included a strict abortion law designed to invite a new U.S Supreme Court test reinstated capital punishment a shield law creation of a new sate
