iF Compromise
'" According to Mike Chaussee, a lobbyist for North Dakota AARP, North
Dakota is one of only 13 states that tax Social Security at all, and one of only
three that tax at the federal rate. Chaussee said he understood the financial
constraints of a full repeal and AARP would support compromise on the bill.
"There's certainly work that other states have been able to do that would
allow older North Dakotans somewhat of a break," Chaussee said.
While Bellew would be "open to negotiation," he said he believed a full
repeal should be a financial priority for the Legislature.
The bill's projected cost of $20.8 million a biennium in reduced revenue
i)roved to be too high for the Senate Appropriations Committee, however, and
a proposed amendment would remove the tax only for those with an adjusted
gross income of $50,000 or less. This would lower the revenue loss for the
State to an estimated $2.2 million.
