Windfall tax plan dominates 1967 Maryland session
In Annapolis the 1967 Maryland General Assembly reached a three way compromise to return two thirds of the federal tax windfall to taxpayers. Gov Schaefer sought broad relief for the poor, while the Senate favored returning most funds and the House approved just over half. The deal shifts money to taxpayers via higher exemptions, a larger standard deduction, credits for the working poor, and partial exclusion of capital gains. The plan also funds stadium projects and related bonds, with debates and potential filibusters ahead.
