Shapp pledges 1972 tax cut and relief plan in Pittsburgh
Gov. Shapp told Pittsburgh business leaders that a 2.5 percent personal income tax for 1971-72 could yield a $210 million to $220 million surplus for the next year. He said half would go to personal and half to business tax relief, with possible reductions to 2.25 percent the following year. He cited one shot deficits and college aid as arguments for the levy and noted corporate tax relief options. He argued taxes influence business location choices, citing New York's land and transit issues as factors.
