Cigarette Tax Plea Before Legislators
INDIANAPOLIS AP The Indiana Legislature faces a filing deadline as lawmakers hear a plea to raise the cigarette tax to fund mental health. Ex Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine urged a budget committee to back bills adding 2 cents to the tax and securing a 4 cent county levy from property taxes for mental health. Former Gov. Matthew E. Welsh backed a funding level to ensure a decency standard in state mental health institutions. The Mental Health Department seeks 219 million for the next biennium, but the budget office cut it to 159.5 million. Ristine argued for tax proceeds to build comprehensive mental health centers. Martin Meyer said 13.8 million is needed to begin 21 centers, while the agency recommended 6.9 million for 1971-73. State Mental Health Commissioner William E. Murray urged aid to shift away from large state hospitals toward regional programs and centers. In the House, 938 bills were filed as the session continued.
