In Springfield on June 12, the Illinois House ended in a noisy session as filibuster threats and guarded doors marked a stand on proposed taxation reform. Rep. Corneal Davis pressed for full reading of Senate bills, tying his tactic to FEPC legislation, while House adjournment efforts faltered and a 103 presence kept the chamber from closing. The body approved a 90 to 31 amendment on sales tax exemptions for newspapers and related materials, sparking constitutional concerns from Rep. Alan Dixon. A separate vote backed a 55 percent assessment ceiling plan championed by Rep. John Morris, with Gov. Stratton support, though opponents warned of tax crashes for counties and railroads.
