Budget debate doubts statewide income tax hike prospects
Lawmakers react to Governor Thompson's budget message. Education funding may rise this spring, while opposition argues spending should be kept in check. Several Republicans say the income tax increase is unlikely this session, though some see potential for future considerations. Local observers cite education needs and the Moscow trade office as notable points.
