Bowen Proposes State Control of Local Property Taxes
Bowen outlines a tax reform plan calling for state and local property tax control boards to limit local option levies, freeze school levies at 1972 levels, and shift police and prison costs to the state. He seeks a $15 million Vietnam veterans bonus, a $21 million salary fund, a new $4.5 million women’s prison, and a $5.5 million reservoir program funded within current revenue. Republicans criticize the plan as burdensome to workers, while praising library and prison provisions. Democrats forecast limited support in the legislature.
