Strange Reviews Tax Bills Asks Opinion From Home
State Representative Russell E. Strange urges readers to comment on three tax proposals during the current session. He backs a Use Tax increase to 4 percent, notes a bipartisan income tax bill by Sallade and Nill, and discusses a graduated income tax by Senator Rahoi with repeal of the intangibles and business activities taxes. He favors the Use Tax over an income tax and hints at a watered-down compromise if the Use Tax loses passage.

Scoutmaster Bill Case led Troop 125 on a rugged hike that grew from a three mile stroll into a seventeen mile expedition in rural Clare County. A splinter group of 17 scouts got dispersed while practicing stalking the main party, then pursued by foot until finally corralled.
