Special Session Looms For Tax Change Debate
A looming special session is expected to focus on extending the 50 percent income tax rate to 2048, with Republican lawmakers in nine Midwestern states backing the move as treasury prospects look strong. Gov Blue signals urgency, while a revision of the tax base and exemptions prompts debate among legislators and the 52 club veterans. A Des Moines meeting of Negro Republicans and Midwest leaders advances party organization ahead of potential action.
