Hughes Tax Debate Sees Amendments Ruled Out Of Order
On day three of a 45 million dollar per year tax package debate, amendments to legalize pari mutuel betting and to tax trading stamps were ruled out. Lt. Gov. Mooty said the pari mutuel proposal was not germane to the tax bill and the trading stamp amendment was primarily regulatory. The Senate rejected a 3 percent sales tax increase for the 1963-65 biennium and Democrats sought a withholding system for personal income taxes.
