Community groups mobilize against a proposed state budget of 219 million dollars doubling 1962 spending. The plan adds a personal income tax and tax shifts to education health and public works, with cigarette tax rise and sales tax cut offsets.
Francis C. Bushell, chairman, announced a statewide drive to recruit 30,000 members for the Rhode Island Taxpayers Committee. The group opposes increased state spending beyond current taxes and rejects the proposed personal income tax. Bushell cites a $38 million resource increase, a 21 percent rise, and says many taxpayers won't accept pay cuts. Committees are being formed in most districts to educate voters and mobilize opposition to the governor's tax plans.
