Bowen outlines Indiana 197% tax priorities

Gov Otis Bowen announces top agenda items for the 197% legislature including a three cent gasoline tax increase, a rebate, possible income tax cuts, and larger tax relief for low income elderly. He says highway funding remains at 1968 levels and surplus funds should back rebates rather than highway spending. He declines to specify rebate size or precise tax cuts.
