Congress combines tax relief talks with Frontier subsidy notes
Congressman Dave Martin met with Sidney businessmen and spoke to the public about a late House Ways and Means move that would cut the 10 percent excise tax on trucks under 7,500 pounds and drop the auto tax retroactively. He also discussed Frontier Airlines subsidy hopes, railroad long term fixes, wage price freeze views, and regional travel by Trans Neb. He attended Wheatbelt irrigation clinic before heading to Kimball for Farmer Days remarks.
