Acting Gov. Martin J. Schreiber told Farmers Union leaders that tax relief and reduced state spending would ease the burden on property taxpayers and lessen pressure to sell land to foreigners. He outlined a plan to hire fewer state workers until 1981 and noted historic limits on foreign land purchases. He criticized farm inheritance taxes as unfair to widows and argued for policy changes.
