House Passes Income Tax Bill In Missouri
The Missouri House approved a Senate change on the main revenue bill by 123 to 30 and sent it toward Gov. Hearnes. The measure extends present income tax rates past Dec 31, raises about 92 million dollars annually, and removes a Senate dividend exclusion. A separate 26 to 6 Senate vote backed a permanent rate extension proposal, while debates centered on revenue needs and potential voter referendums. A redistricting bill based on the 1970 census passed the Senate 23 to 9 and moves to the House.
