Rockefeller's Austerity Push Backfires at Governor's Office
Gov. Jay Rockefeller presents an austerity pledge yet seeks a 100 percent boost for the governor's office to 7.4 million for 1977-78, while most agencies stay at current levels. The plan includes an 800 percent rise in the contingency fund and extra sums to cover mansion and staff costs, drawing skepticism from Senate Finance leaders.

Tax reform proposals modify standard deduction and marriage penalty
The plan would raise the marriage penalty from 1300 to 1800 dollars and allow two people living together to claim up to 4800 dollars in standard deduction while married couples would be limited to 3000 dollars. A tax credit of 35 dollars per person or 2 percent of the first 9000 dollars of taxable income up to 180 dollars would be extended through 1978, costing the Treasury about 10 billion dollars annually.
