Governor Richard B. Ogilvie said he expects legislative approval of an income tax but would not commit to his 4 percent target. He warned a vote against income tax would raise property taxes and rejected splitting rates for corporations and individuals as a billion dollar gamble. He urged statewide public input, traveled to major cities, and cautioned cutting his budget to lower the tax by one percent would require a 278 million dollar spending cut. He insisted school aid stay at the recommended equalization level and pressed for highway funding through a gasoline tax increase and a 2 billion dollar bond issue, despite House delays.
