Stewart tells lawmakers the Ways and Means panel will omit the capital gains tax and the transfer tax rise from the administration’s tax relief bill. He warns the $5 million land sale and $3 million transfer tax pieces may not fund 80,000 claims and urges local governments to back proposed funding shifts. Republicans had favored higher transfer taxes to raise revenues.
