Farm machinery tax exemption faces $1,000 threshold vote
Senate approves an amendment to bar tax relief for small farm equipment purchases under $1,000, tightening machinery eligibility. House sponsor Rep. Bruce Richmond doubts the change, while Sen. Kenneth Buzbee argues it strengthens the bill as Gov. Thompson weighs a veto risk amid statewide spending concerns. The plan would cut two cents of the 4 percent sales tax this year and another two cents in 1981, with final passage depending on House concurrence.
