Indiana lawmakers seek tax reform amid veto clash
In Indianapolis, Indiana House Republicans and Democrats express hope for a bipartisan tax reform in the 1972 General Assembly while rejecting Gov. Whitcomb's plan to raise cigarette and alcohol taxes. Democrats seek food exemptions and a mild top rate on personal income tax, while Republicans hint at altering the 1971 plan and extending sales tax to services. The caucuses aim to offset property tax relief with business taxes, and a total new state revenue of about 360 million yearly is projected. The 1972 session opens November 15 with a one day organizational meeting.
