Governor Bates Fights for Non Tax Revenue Plan
Governor Bates seeks to raise state funds without added taxes by adjusting license fee shares, corporate tax rates, and inheritance tax. He hopes legislature will compromise to 7.5 percent on license fees, 5 percent on corporate tax, and 12.5 percent inheritance tax, while avoiding broad tax increases. He plans to reopen ways and means, avoid party whip pressure, and veto private appropriations to force revenue solutions. The aim remains to generate 2.5 million dollars more without widening the tax base.
