Legislature Advances Unemployment Commission and Tax Proposals
State lawmakers mid session pushed for a permanent unemployment commission under the social security act with a three member board from labor, employers and the public and a $4,500 annual pay. The governor named Walter Scholes, Claude Stanley, and Peter Kies to the panel. A social security org bill allows a secretary salary up to 2400. The homestead tax exemption bill, funding old age and relief programs, faces House opposition despite Senate support. A separate bill would extend the 8 point tax law and a tax collection dispute sparks merchant resistance.
