The Nation : Record Florida Drug Haul

State legislatures are finding that the economic recovery has eased their financial pinch, and at least 15 states are considering cutting taxes as a result, a survey shows. “But overall, most states are not going to be cutting taxes, and most states that do, it’s going to be a fairly modest cut,” said Steven Gold of the National Conference of State Legislatures in Denver. The survey was released just days after a National Governors Assn. study reported that many regions of the country remain vulnerable to President Reagan’s proposed $7-billion cut in federal aid, despite state budget surpluses.
