Senate Finance Committee Advances Trick and Treat Tax Bill
The Senate Finance Committee tentatively agreed on about 9 billion dollars in relief for roughly 70 million individual income taxpayers and prepared to wrap up work on the tax reform bill. Chairman Russell B. Long said the panel would vote today to send the bill to the Senate for debate despite joking references to a Halloween monster. The committee largely backed the House plan for rate cuts and rejected a move to raise the personal exemption, aligning with the House and Nixon administration approach.
