Dillon Says Tax Cut Will Boost Local Revenues
Washington Treasury Secretary Dougal Dillon told Congress a $10 billion federal tax cut should raise state and local revenues by about $2.9 billion yearly through higher personal income. The estimate covers state gains of $1.5 billion and local gains of $1.4 billion, with 1965 as the first full year of impact, and suggests tax rates need not rise to meet future needs. Douglas praised the outlook while noting concerns about possible new levies by states.
