Compromise Revenue Plan Faces Last-Minute Change
Gov. Otto Kerner prompted a revised form of a proposed revenue amendment drafted by a legislative commission. The plan would allow a state income tax up to 3 percent with a separate referendum, retain Cook County real estate classification, and grant broad legislative power over personal property tax. Kerner urged separating the income tax from other provisions, a stance echoed by Sen. Arrington. critics warned the move could delay passage while commissioners pressed for a unified reform.
