Mills bill would force Congress to reconsider special tax provisions
Legislation by Rep. Wilbur Mills would repeal 54 tax preferences over three years starting 1974, requiring Congress to justify each provision. The bill targets major loop holes plus deductions for state taxes, charitable contributions, and double exemptions for elderly and blind, with expirations set for 1974, 1975, and 1976. Senate leaders supported similar measures and aimed to attach them to the debt ceiling bill.
