Massachusetts House Rejects Tax Deduction Bill
In Boston the Massachusetts House defeated a Republican bill allowing unearned income earners to claim the same deductions as earned income taxpayers by a 183 to 85 vote. The debate tied to a study of the state income tax fueled by concerns over a $9 million revenue impact. The session also advanced Gov. Peabody's Baby Capital Outlay plan to 7.5 million and approved a $3 million park expansion bond. The House killed several studies on school racial imbalance and media advertising, and referred a racing-funding plan to Ways and Means. Republican Sidney Curtiss announced an 11 member panel to study reorganizing the State Department of Commerce and Housing Board.
