...took office, Anderson proposed a $762 million boost in state taxes?roughly a 30% increase in the biennial budget. Eventually, he got through a $588 million compromise package, with substantial increases in the taxes on liquor and cigarettes, and in corporate and personal income taxes, along with a 1?? rise in the sales tax. With such state revenues he increased state aid for education from 43% to 63% in the first year, and now to 70%, thereby decreasing the real estate tax burden by an average...
Voters in Jefferson County, Colo., the nation's fifth fastest-growing county, approved a 1??% sales tax to be used solely for the purchase and maintenance of open space.

Now he seems to set himself more. Trading on 10 to 15 more Ibs. of bulk and 1?? more inches around the biceps, he hits like a true heavyweight. The seemingly indestructible Oscar Bonavena got that information the hard way in December, when Ali exploded a ripping left hook in the 15th round and dropped the blocky Argentine in a heap. Oscar wobbled up only to be decked again and again, giving...
...pushing for an amendment that would cut off military authorizations for Cambodia immediately, and for South Viet Nam by the end of 1970. Chances for that measure seem slim. More likely to pass next week is an amendment that would cut off funds for the Cambodian mission by July 1???which is precisely when the President promised the troops would be out of Cambodia anyway...
