State Income Tax Proposal Faces Setback In Senate
Gov. John S. Fine’s fiscal plan stalled as the Senate Republican caucus voted 16 to 11 to return the 119 million dollar income tax bill to committee. The action followed House approval and recommittal in a Democratic bloc vote, with key absences and nonparticipants noted. The setback comes as the governor pushes a 1.2 billion budget for the new biennium opening June 1 and the proposed levy would finance much of the new money. No immediate action was indicated on how administration leaders would respond to the setback.
