Would Cut Tax Relief Would Cut Tax Relief Albany
Republican Assemblyman A Bruce Manley proposed a bill to wipe out local tax relief granted railroads last year and to earmark income from real estate levies to schools. The measure would let localities tax railroad property at the highest rate used from 1933 to 1958, potentially boosting revenue though exact gains could not be estimated. The 1959 law set ceilings based on each railroad's earnings, determined by the State Board of Equalization and Assessment.
