Senator Strom Thurmond has removed his sponsorship of the Packwood Moynihan tuition tax credit bill while keeping the option to vote yes. The measure would provide 50 percent credits up to 250 in 1978 and scale to 500 by 1980 with broader post secondary coverage in 1981 and full implementation in 1982 costing an estimated 4.5 billion annually. Critics warn it could undercut public schools and blur church state lines as most private schools are church affiliated. The House has excluded tuition credits and Thurmond's aide notes possible Senate floor amendments to limit credits to post secondary tuition.
