Reduced 75 Percent Tax Break For Railroad Workers
The city council approved a 75 percent rebate on income taxes for this year after a last night council meeting. A resolution signed by 61 railroad workers urged the discount due to hazardous duties and long hours they endured to earn taxable extra income. Members supported the idea though opinions differed on how to implement the relief. Alderman Howson argued locomotive workers earn all they make and that any income tax is unjust.
