Record-breaking tax bill hikes and spending cuts urged
Washington reports the Senate Finance committee increased the tax bill by 208.1 million dollars and urged drastic cuts in non-defense spending. The panel added four levies totaling about 3.689 billion dollars annually, raising admissions, small corporate surtaxes, local telephone charges, and electric light bulb levies. A gasoline tax rise and other increases were rejected. The committee also backed new budget trial figures and an economy study group, with Byrd urging meaningful reductions. The measure faces Senate debate with a vote possible next week.
