Marland Plan Wins Blessing From Committee
Administration leaders in the House maneuver for position in the 52nd Legislature as the income tax proposal faces the floor. The measure HB 387 would levy three percent of federal income tax paid, about eight million dollars, earmarked for teachers salaries. A Senate sales tax proposal to raise seven million for teachers and social security remains under House Finance review. An informal poll suggests the sales tax could pass, but passage of the income tax could shift support. The Senate opposes an income tax, and a conference on general revenue will follow.
