Increase In Tax Cut Proposed By Rep Forand
Washington march 17 a proposed increase in the income tax exemption from 500 to 700 was offered by Rep Forand to replace Knutsons 20 percent across the board cut. Forand argued the higher exemption would aid low income groups more, saving a married man with two children about 95 and a two hundred thousand dollar earner about 661, with far higher gains than Knutsons plan. He urged relief targeted to the neediest as Congress began closed hearings on tax reform ahead of a Monday House showdown.
