The state plans indexing for tax relief but faces a $25 million shortfall against a $1.7 billion budget. Lawmakers rejected a revenue-boosting approach, arguing it is better to raise taxes or cut services than cause tax inflation. The bill would raise the standard deduction to 15 percent up to $1,200 for singles and $3,000 for married couples, with credits increasing slightly.
