Lugar proposal would tax congressmen for Social Security
Senator Richard Lugar proposes extending Social Security taxes to members of Congress and other legislative workers. He argues the tax applies to nearly all workers and should not exempt lawmakers. The plan would be added as an amendment to welfare reform measures and faces possible hearings by the Senate Finance Committee after Panama Canal treaty work. Lugar notes many lawmakers oppose the idea due to private pension plans but asserts Social Security also supports elderly and disabled income maintenance.

State cracks down on sales taxes in Indiana
Indiana Attorney General Theodore Sendak said his office and local prosecutors filed theft charges against 14 northern Indiana businessmen for failing to remit sales tax, with totals ranging from about two thousand to over eighty thousand dollars for various merchants and service stations. A Fort Wayne case involved Steven J. Thurston who pleaded guilty and agreed to pay over three thousand dollars. A separate Jasper, Indiana theft saw a truck cargo valued at forty five thousand dollars stolen, including thirty thousand dollars in cigarettes and fifteen thousand dollars in coffee, with a suspect van found abandoned in Indianapolis.
