Bowen Sees Assembly Action On Tax Bills
Indiana Governor Otis Bowen says the General Assembly will require corporations to pay local option income taxes and that renting families are unlikely to receive a renewed tax break. He prioritizes prison and highway funding, police and firemen’s pensions, and keeping state spending balanced while phasing out the corporate gross income tax. Bowen supports local referendums to lift property tax freezes and notes possible delays to the phaseout if budget needs demand it.
