House Committee Drops Demo Move to Boost Tax Exemption
Washington reports the House Ways and Means committee rejected a Democratic bid to raise individual income tax exemptions to 700. The 15 to 10 vote, with party lines, leaves current 600 exemptions. Rep. Hale Boggs argued the increase would relieve about seven million people from federal income tax. Committee Chair Daniel A. Reed said the proposal would cost 32 to 40 billion dollars annually and that no exemption changes would be considered until overall tax changes are finished. Additional notes include proposals on surplus foods distribution to the elderly and debates over post office spending for polling on tax and nuclear issues.
