Democrats Seek New Income Tax Cuts In Senate Battle
Senator George said Democrats would push new income tax cut provisions in the Senate during debate on the general tax revision bill already providing about 1.5 billion dollars in relief to corporations and individuals. He outlined two alternate proposals: a 2.4 billion annual personal tax cut via a 100 exemption increase, or a 20 annual tax credit, with the expected overall impact around 1.25 billion. Administration opposition remains to general tax reductions despite backing some provisions to spur business growth and investment.

Heavy Rains Leave Wide Damage Across Coulee Region
Heavy rains struck the Coulee Region Friday night and Saturday. Roads, rail beds, and crop lands suffered damage while flood warnings were posted on tributaries feeding the Mississippi. Heaviest rainfall fell north and west of La Crosse with Alma Dodge and Trempealeau County recording the highest totals. A rail line near Red Wing was weakened and three trains were rerouted. Damaging floods caused detours and a dynamite charge was used to relieve pressure on a dam at Ettrick.
