Governors Seek Inheritance Tax Across States
A group of six state governors urged the House Ways and Means Committee to abandon the federal inheritance tax or allow its retention with full credit to states that levy similar taxes.

Names include Walton Georgia Whitfield Mississippi Trinkle Virginia McLean North Carolina MacLeod South Carolina and Peay Tennessee.
