Tax hike targets high earners with energy levy
A new energy tax would raise gasoline by about 8 cents a gallon and add roughly $2.25 to monthly home electric bills. Low income families would be offset by an expanded earned income credit and higher federal help to pay fuel costs. Social Security beneficiaries above certain incomes face increased taxation. The 50 percent taxable portion would rise to 85 percent for singles over $25,000 and couples over $32,000, with the average bill rising about $500. Upper income groups would bear the higher energy and Social Security taxes.
Correction notices and local event listings
Local notices include a nursing continuing education class at Ransom Memorial Hospital titled Ren, Failure and Dialysis offering 6 credit hours for $30 on May 78 with registration 6:00 to 8:30 am and class 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.
