Coalition bill on coal sales tax moves to Senate floor
The one per cent coal sales tax would be returned to the mining county under a bill advancing from the Senate committee to the floor. Rep. Richard C. Hart, D-Benton, chief sponsor of HB 198, sees a major hurdle passed as Sen. Clifford Latherow, R-Macomb, leads the bill in the Senate. An amendment to HB 763 is planned this week to delay the EPA sulfur emission standards for mining coal beyond the May 30, 1975 date, with the Miners Pollution Control Board setting equipment standards to fix a new compliance date. Hart also noted an amendment to IL Constitution proposing county agencies may be charged for tax collection, a practice dropped by the new constitution. The measure HJR CA-22 requires a 0 percent majority in both houses and a referendum in the next general election. Choate criticizes GOP senators for stalling flood relief loans for victims, as Sen. Gene Johns supports HJR 38 offering low-interest loans to farmers and homeowners affected by floods.
