The Arkansas House passed a bill to credit federal income tax payments when computing state personal income tax, a move Revenue Commissioner Morley says could add 9.5 million dollars this year if enacted. He argues the public won’t tolerate taxing taxes and blames ex governor Ben Laney for starting the approach, with Governor McMath and others likely to seek alternative revenue if the credit isn’t allowed.

The piece recalls the North Korean campaign and honors the resilience of small units, including a regiment that endured heavy losses yet remained effective.
