McGonigle Warns Of Dem Winners Tax Plans
Allentown dispatch reports Republican governor hopeful Arthur T. McGonigle warning that Democratic candidates Lawrence and Leader if elected would push a state wage tax. He cited a wage tax as the Democrats’ aim to fund expansive public spending, and urged voters to consider such taxes four weeks before the November election. He also cited a bridge project complaint and outlined a labor reform platform including union disclosure, financial reporting, secret elections, and violence restrictions. Norristown notes say Hugh Scott views senatorial prospects favorably.
