Batchelder criticizes Exon tax plan as too weak
State GOP chair Anne Batchelder of Omaha attacked Gov. Exon on Tuesday for not promising deeper tax cuts if the school aid petition succeeds. Exon linked possible sales tax rollback to petition success, while Batchelder urged lowering the income tax rate from 18 to 17 percent. She warned economists question federal tax change effects and said the higher rates could seed a reserve to show solvency or cover last year’s shortfall. The potential surplus from sales and income taxes could reach 22 to 29 million if the petition wins.
