$18 Million Campaign Fund Raised Through Tax Returns
IRS reports 18 million in funds from 1973 and retroactive 1972 tax contributions for public campaign financing. About 14 percent of taxpayers contributed via 1973 forms, with 6.7 percent retroactive for 1972. The timing shift from a separate form increased deposits. Congress weighs reform and potential use if not appropriated. Memphis Law Day remarks by Gov. Bond oppose a compulsory checkoff and urge campaign finance reforms.
