Senator Cloon Backs State Income Tax Plan
Senator J P Cloon told the Rotary club that an income tax is the most equitable funding source for state needs. He proposed exempting 15000 a year and applying a tax above that, while opposing a graduated rate. He noted increased gasoline tax would boost state revenue, cited allocations to local roads and hospitals, and lamented lack of local support for hospital funding. He serves on a committee to study public hospital needs and will report next year.
