Merchants Push City Sales Tax Vote In Mexico
A rising wave of support from Mexico's business community aims to place a one cent city sales tax on a special election tied to the annexation of South Trails Shopping Center. Petitions circulated by Hagan Clothing Store co manager Tim Hagan and Chamber of Commerce EVP Tom Stapleton. City Manager Gary Eide and Mayor David Lankford discussed a possible council meeting next week. Supporters say revenue could exceed 650000 annually, while opponents warn of unfair burden and election costs.

Senate Tax Bill Lets 47 Million Pay Less in 1970s
The Senate passed a bill to raise standard deductions and simplify returns, benefiting 47 million filers. It would cut taxes for most nonitemizers, with larger cuts for those earning under $20,000, including a family of four earning $10,000 saving about $205. The measure, 73 to 7, keeps two individual and one business credits, extends 1975 tax cuts, and adds a $250 credit for keeping a dependent over 65 at home, plus incentives for business investment and hiring.
