Pension tax fix clears House in landslide vote
The House voted 123 to 0 Friday to exempt all government pensions from state income tax and sent the bill to the Senate. An 80 to 42 amendment deleted a plan to tax only retirement income over 10,000 dollars. Rep. Joan Wagnon said the move aligns with a Supreme Court ruling and avoids repaying about 91 million dollars to military retirees.
