Rainy day surplus bill tested by house vote in main tax plan
The administration won its first test on fiscal policy as the house passed the rainy day surplus bill by 780 to 27 with 14 Republicans and 13 Democrats opposing. The measure would set aside 40 million dollars to cushion the general fund for emergencies, aiming to guide surplus use and restrain full bonus payments. Debates on income tax credits and exemptions followed, with Zastrow’s bill proposing up to 50 percent credit on state income tax for property taxpayers, subject to income and property tax levels. observers expect senate passage despite house resistance. Gamble bills also move forward, one legalizing pari mutuel betting and another revoking licenses for gambling devices.
