Governor Outlines Tax Revision Terms in 1961 Session
Governor Nelson bluntly proposed a compromise tax revision during the fall session, opposing a general sales tax but backing a 3 percent sales tax on selected nonessentials and a 0.5 percent increase in the state income tax. He urged bipartisanship, warned against blocking reform, and urged a coalition of moderates to advance a plan benefiting both parties and the public. The Legislature opened with quick approval of a bill protecting job rights for 32nd Division members, while considering higher spending to finance pay boosts for officials and judges.
