Taxpayer fury over new expense accounts in Harrisburg fallout
Harrisburg AP reports lawmakers debate post tax era costs as the state Supreme Court voids the income tax yet approves a $300 monthly rise in expense accounts for each of 50 senators and 203 representatives. Some lawmakers defend the increase citing security and absence of adequate funds, while others call for immediate repeal or restraint. Simultaneously, state police in Spartansburg report arson probes into four fires, including a car blaze, public phone booth fire, a barn, and a summer cottage, with Albert Vota leading the investigation.
