Automatic Income Tax Cut Planned
A coalition of Senate Democrats drafted a plan for automatic income tax reductions tied to annual revenue surprises. If general revenues exceed forecasts, the state would trim income taxes or require budget cuts or new taxes to cover the difference. The proposal faces criticism from Budget Director Rennie and mirrors a Virginia plan adopted three years prior.

Split On Move To Cut Taxes
Washington January 27. A split emerged among House Republican leaders over a bill to cut individual income tax rates 11 percent starting June 30. Reed predicts early House approval and passage before year’s end, while Speaker Martin says action may be months away as spending cuts and budget balance take precedence. Reed claims minimal revenue loss, arguing savings would boost other tax bases. critics warn on timing and impact. The proposal targets about 50 million taxpayers and shifts Dec 30 effective date. Reed has broad GOP support but some Democrats oppose rushing tax cuts without broader benefits.
