GOP to Offer Income Tax Cut Plan in Senate Battle
Senate Republicans unveil a general income tax cut plan to counter a Democratic relief amendment. Senator Millikin says the measure would raise personal exemptions by 100 dollars for lower and middle incomes, delivering at least 20 dollars per person or 40 dollars per couple, starting July 1. The plan also halves the relief for dividend income and was drafted in a closed GOP meeting of all 48 senators to avert political risk from the Democratic proposal.
