Knutson proposes major tax cuts to lift millions from tax rolls
Washington lawmakers unveil a $4.6 billion 1948 tax cut plan targeting 7.4 million people. The proposal would raise personal exemptions to $600, grant a graduated 30 to 10 percent cut, extend community property splits nationwide, and add a $600 exemption for seniors and the blind, with projected revenue losses of about $2.6, $0.6, and $0.2 billion respectively. The measure faces a slow path before the regular session and contrasts with President Truman’s stance on taxation.
