AM-MS--Fordice-Taxes, Mspi Bjt,480< Fordice Pushes Income Tax Cut< With AP Photo JX101< By GINA HOLLAND Associated Press Writer JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Gov. Kirk Fordice, recovering from cancer surgery, renewed his call Wednesday for an income tax reduction. Fordice was joined by nine Republican lawmakers and a group of state department heads at the Governor's Mansion after returning from a Southern Governors' Association meeting Richmond, Va. He said the time recovering from his Aug. 25 surgery has given him ''a renewal of resolve in what we came here to do and what we're trying to do in governmentThis document is from theand collections that at the is Dole to Archives, make University it of Kansas work better.'' http://dolearchives.ku.edu Fordice is proposing a $3,500 increase in the state income tax exemption. Under the proposal, for example, married couples' personal exemption would rise from $9,500 to $13,000. The tax cut would stimulate spending and economic growth, the governor said. PRESS RETURN TO CONTINUE OR ENTER A REQUEST. Page 4 of 71 ''I'm not talking games of any kind,'' the governor said. He first unveiled his proposal at the Neshoba County Fair last month. Fordice said he will ask the Legislature to cut income tax, not sales tax, because a tax break should go to ''the folks that work so hard to send this money up here in the first place.'' ''As far as the personal exemption, I think that's going to be a hard sell,'' said Rep. Rita Martinson, R-Madison, who was among lawmakers at the mansion. ''I think the governor has his pulse on the people.'' Rep. Bill Denny, R-Jackson, said both Democrats and Republicans should support the plan when the Legislature convenes in January. This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas ''We've got a reasonable group of lawmakers,''http://dolearchives.ku.edu Denny said. But many of the department heads at the news conference have already asked the Legislature for more money for next year. Requests include more money for education, public safety, Medicaid, and corrections. House appropriations chairman Charlie Capps, D-Cleveland, said the Legislative Budget Committee has received requests for about $300 million more in new spending for the next fiscal PRESS RETURN TO CONTINUE OR ENTER A REQUEST.

''We have many needs and desires. We certainly can't fund all that,'' Capps said Wednesday. ''Before we get the budget conunittee reconunendations, I would not be for ... an income tax cut.'' Fordice said the state can afford the $70 million tax cut if the state payroll is reduced. He said the state should not count on taxes from gambling to fund state needs. ''Gambling income can go just as fast as it came,'' Fordice said. ''All those boats couldThis documentpull isout from theovernight. collections at the DoleWe Archives, must University not of Kansas get addicted to that money.'' http://dolearchives.ku.edu Fordice also outlined his recovery from prostrate cancer surgery and said he is cancer-free. ''With the Lord's help, we're going to come through this in good shape,'' he said. PLEASE ENTER A REQUEST.
