Byrnes Proposes Tax Credit Plan To Replace Revenue Sharing
Wisconsin Republican Rep. Joh W. Byrnes introduces a substitute for Nixon's revenue sharing. The plan would allow a 20 percent federal income tax credit for those paying state or local taxes, while preserving the current deduction for state taxes. It aims to boost state tax revenues by up to 3.5 billion without raising citizens' total tax bills. Byrnes opposes the Nixon framework but backs the companion 11 billion disbursement proposal, arguing constitutional and fiscal concerns.
