20-Percent Tax Cut Proposed by Economic Development Unit
The Committee for Economic Development calls for a temporary 20 percent cut in all income tax rates if March and April show a drop below February levels. The plan, a 7.5 billion dollar boost, could start mid year and last nine months, with no corporate or excise tax relief. It urges quick, simple action and supports public works and faster federal spending. The group warns unemployment and production could be in decline, though unsure of a longer downturn, and says emergency measures must be ready if needed.
