Ford outlines 15 billion personal tax cut plan
President Ford proposes a 15 billion cut in personal income taxes to accelerate economic recovery. A 70 tax credit per exemption with rebates or reduced payments may be used, potentially delivering about 200 dollars off a 2009 tax for a typical family, with an overall maximum tax relief near 375 dollars per return. The plan awaits final distribution details and congress approval.

Local services must be reduced too says group
The Virginia Association of Counties challenged Gov Mills Godwins austerity budget revisions saying localities will bear the brunt of any cuts. The VAC urged the 1975 General Assembly to reduce local service requirements if funds to counties are trimmed. They oppose deeper local tax hikes and warned that if state funds fall, local services must be cut. Local officials emphasized they would fight any money reductions without corresponding service reductions.
