Blagojevich backs compromise on farm tax repeal plan
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich shifts from repealing the seed and feed sales tax exemption to backing a compromise expected to raise about 6 million dollars. The deal preserves the exemption for feed and seed while adding new fees on seed dealers, disease testing, and pesticides to fund agriculture and environmental programs. Senate leaders oppose repeal but a compromise is being shaped with farm groups and lawmakers watching budget impacts.
