Sargent Drafts Tax Proposal
Gov. Fran cis W. Sargent works on his major new tax proposal for a Monday delivery to a joint session of the Massachusetts Legislature. The $143 million plan calls for a 14 percent tax increase, with talks on boosting local aid to cities and towns and adjusting the property tax relief formula. Mayors and selectmen were urged to respond to the speech while the administration fights a $68.6 million budget cut and weighs a bean gambling bill. A new law absolving residents of unsolicited merchandise was signed, and the governor seeks guidance on forcing a constitutional convention to reduce the House from 240 to 160 members by May 14.
