Proposed Tax Overhaul Caps Rates and Extends Credits
The plan would issue refunds of 300 to individuals, 500 for single parents, and 600 for married couples, with checks mailed from midsummer. Top rate drops from 39.6 to 35 by 2006, other rates cut by 3 points. A 10 percent rate applies to the first 6000 for individuals and 12000 for couples. The 500 child tax credit doubles, marriage penalty relief enacted, estate tax ends by 2010 with rising exemptions, and IRA and 401(k) limits increase.

A May 18 event at Greene Square Park, titled Swinging in the Park and organized with Renaissance Group sponsorship, drew criticism from local tavern owners who say the Jaycees violated the agreement and crowded out business. The Jaycees acknowledge involvement but say the event followed prior patterns and that the council approved it.
