Nixon backs property tax relief for the elderly and a tuition tax credit for private schooling, while arguing that undoing budget deficits would require a 15 percent income tax rise. Senate and House figures propose varied revenue boosts and targeted relief, with action likely delayed by priority on new trade powers.
