The chamber debated and added a college student tax credit, but it faces likely House rejection.

Bowen Blocks Vote On County Clerk Vacancies Bill
House Speaker Otis R Bowen delayed action on vetoed bill H.R. 1775 that would grant appointive power for county clerk vacancies to circuit court judges.

New Tax Reform Drafting Begun
INDIANAPOLIS AP The House Ways and Means committee voted to draft broad tax reform for the 1972 session. It endorses higher state sales and income taxes and a revamped business tax to lower property taxes and fund more state spending. Gov Whitcomb opposes this approach but also seeks cigarette and liquor tax increases. Key disputes remain over a graduated income tax and the political hurdles of an election year.
