Carswell Urges Tay Message To Senate In Tax Row
Associated Press reports President Carswell of the Georgia senate pledged to support a Senate floor vote if Governor Walker sends a message urging acceptance of the Lankford income tax plan as it came from the house. Walker indicated the Senate could pass the measures without his input. The House and Senate move toward a compromise on the Lankford bill as both chambers signal flexibility amid a weeklong tax reform deadlock. The House adopted a 140 to 22 vote on a resolution directing its seventh conference committee to accept a compromise aligned with Walker’s message. The resolution mirrors the governor’s suggested plan.
