Thursday, February 17, 19 t THE MICHIGAN DAILY ThrdyIeray1,19LTEMCIA AL _. __ , ADVISORY REFERENDUM: City income tax proposal to be decided by Ann Arbor citizens in vote Monday DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 17 ! Day Calendar (Continued from Page 1) object to is the new tax to be levied on commuters. HRP mem-) bers predict this tax will hurt lower income employes of the Uni- versity who live outside the city because they can not afford Ann1 Arbor's high prices. But economics Prof. Daniel Fus- feld offers a different perspective on the commuter issue. "What few people realize," Fus- feld states, "is that this tax will hit a large number of wealthy professors and deans who live out- side the city., and up until now have paid no taxes to the city." It is unclear what effect the tax wil lhave on students. The matter may have to be decided in the courts since there is, as of now,} no accepted definition of what con- stituates a resident. Republicans agree that the city is facing financial difficulties, but they don't see the income tax as the answer to the problem. Councilman J a m e s Stephenson (R-4th Ward), a leading opponent' of the mayor on this question raises several objections to the income tax proposal. Stephenson, like most of his Re- publican colleagues on Council, feels the city could increase its efficiency by making cuts in cer- tain areas, although he doesn't specify the individual departments., Ile is also critical of the pack-; age's timing, citing pending court: action on broad taxation issues.
