State Tax Issue Tops Convention Business
Concord June 3 AP Tax resolutions and a proposal to reapportion legislative house seats are the final barriers before adjournment of the constitutional convention by tomorrow. Delegates hear that the state faces a $1.5 million annual deficit after this year and discuss giving the Legislature new revenue powers. A reapportionment plan would create representative districts for towns without session representation without shrinking the General Court. Abolition of county government was rejected in morning but a later vote authorized the Legislature to change county government form. The convention also approved changes to future meeting rules including eight-year convocations and aligning balloting with election years.
