Governor Says House Tax Relief Too Costly in 2000
Gov. Bill Graves warns a tax relief plan of 200 million or more strains state finances for 2000. He urges a 180 to 185 million range, noting a 200 million package would require April forecasts to be viable. The Senate backs about 170 million in cuts while the House leans toward a 226 million tax cut. Graves cites hard data and predicts overspending. Rep. Phill Kline defends sustaining the House package amid budget debates with the Graves administration.
