State leaders at Hollywood consider tax revisions this year
Governors and comptroller may set the rate as usual. Rivers plans group conferences before a general tax revision by the assembly. A July session could force a long fiscal battle with no definite program. An $2 million increase from ad valorem taxes is eyed to fill a $20 million shortfall before fall revisions. Prices for farm products are predicted to stay higher than last year, aided by government payments, boosting May and June farm income.
