Legislature OKs eliminating tax cut in 1984 plan
Harrisburg reports Gov. Thornburgh signed a bill scrapping the scheduled personal and corporate income tax rate cut for January 1984. The action preserves higher rates. The Legislature also sent bills funding a $1.3 billion bridge repair program and a $36 axle tax on out of state truckers, while failing to advance auto emission inspections in urban counties. The House approved the tax bill 100 to 82 and the Senate passed it on party lines. A separate bank inactive account bill and plans to boost dog license fees, plus a rejected move to create a Department of Correction, were also acted on.
