Meckel din budget seeks sales and income tax hikes
Annapolis February budget request from Governor McKeldin totals 289 million dollars, calling for a higher sales tax from 3 to 3.5 percent and a 50 percent rise in individual income taxes plus 25 percent for corporations, with a pay as you go system starting July 1. The plan credits tax changes with funding education, health, welfare, and state operations for the 1956 fiscal year and proposes a larger cushion for future school needs. It foresees increased spending in major areas, notably public education, teacher salaries, and university projects, financed by real estate tax adjustments and new revenue from the tax changes.
