Tax bill near passage as House rejects amendments
A bipartisan accord on a 2 percent individual and 4 percent corporate income tax was defended against nine amendments in the Illinois House. Rep. Edward Madigan predicted 89 votes for passage as observers foresee a close final tally. The measure, tied to city aid and local grants, could be voted on today or Monday before adjournment. The Senate backed block grants from the new revenues, with about 63 million to local governments.
