Runnels Pushes 20 Percent Income Tax Reduction Plan
Sen. Harold Runnels chairs the Senate Finance Committee and backs an 80 percent cut to the 1969 income tax increase via a 20 percent negative income surtax. He aims to pass the measure in the 1970 session with sponsors from both houses, arguing the state has an $8 million surplus and ample reserves. He opposes a special session and says tax relief could come in the regular session before the April deadline.
