Legislature Debates Tax Plans and Utility Regulation
The legislature debates a joint tax bill with a higher rate for corporations and a 4 percent levy on domestic firms. A separate proposal would merge railroad and public utility regulation into a five member commission with strict penalties. Bills on university investigation, Farm Bureau funding, and redistricting are discussed amid hearings on trucks and state patrol.
