Georgia House kills income tax exemption amendment
The Georgia House defeated an amendment to cap state income tax exemptions, a move Gov. Griffin backed to protect revenue. The measure would have given $5000 for single and $6000 for married filers, but was stricken before floor action. The House later approved the Senate's sealed beam headlight bill and moved on to tax measures under debate in the Senate. The session eyed a potential $40 million revenue ceiling after tax changes and a shifted focus to highway funding and cigarette tax plans.
