Small Cities Seek Special Session Over Tax Limits
Governors petitions from several third class cities push for a special session to raise tax levies beyond the 10 mill limit set by the last legislature. The move aims to fund city governments amid widespread suits as many fix levies near twice that limit. Also noted is the need for action on direct election of U S senators as Congress may not enact such laws soon. Meanwhile Spokane hosts a two day Norway anniversary celebration starting May 17 with services, a Norse club banquet, and an expected 8000 Norwegians in the county.
