Nelson tax plan draws cautious reception in legislature
Madison Governor Nelson’s proposed tax package, including a 3 percent sales tax on selected items and higher income taxes, won little enthusiasm from a bipartisan compromise committee. Senators Draheim and Potter questioned its viability, while Huber urged balance with existing surtaxes. Lawmakers delayed further talks until reconvening, hoping Nelson will push the plan in the fall session. The plan also seeks real property tax relief, halving property taxes on manufacturers stocks and farm livestock, tighter withholding, partial forgiveness of 1961 taxes, a higher bank tax, and a 1 percent levy on business purchases, aiming to raise about 192.3 million in the current biennium.
