Nixon backs federal property tax relief effort despite advisory panel stance
Washington Treasury Undersecretary Edwin S. Cohen said the Nixon administration will pursue federal property tax relief for elderly and poor homeowners and renters. The Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations rejected staff’s circuit breaker grant idea and favored states retaining control under study of revenue sharing and education financing. Wisconsin Senator Robert Knowles urged massive federal funds via education aid, while Washington Gov Dan Evans and others opposed grants as overbroad amid a shift from categorical to general revenue sharing.
