The House has given final approval to a bill that cuts personal and corporate income taxes by $250 million.
It’s above what Governor Dalrymple recommended – which was $125-million in income tax cuts. But it is less than the $500-million proposal the House earlier passed, but was killed by the Senate. The Senate had already passed this level of tax cuts.
Rep. Craig Headland (R-Montpelier) says he’s disappointed the Senate wouldn’t go along with the bigger tax cut.
"We (the House) passed a better tax bill," said Headland. "It was better for North Dakota citizens. And although this is a good day for North Dakota, it's not as good as it could have been."
The bill passed 89 to 1.
