Coz. Boggs Calls For
Reforms Before Taxes
Deawares Chief Executive Says He Wants 8POin Reform
Program To Provide New And Stronger Safe
Guards For State Taxpayers. Constitutional
Convention Is Seen Need

Gov. ]. Caleb Boggs Tuesday
night called for reforms before
taxes" in solving the states finan-
cial problems and promised he will
bring the General Assembly back
into special session unless the
Legislature acts on an eight point
reform program to provide new
and stronger safeguards for our
taxpayers, when they reconvene
on December 2.
In an address Tuesday, the Gov
ernor said, II am absolutely op-
posed to placing the burden of one
additional dollar of taxes on any
of our citizens until we have re-
formed our government.
1t is clear that the Democratic
leadership of the General Assem-
bly, is not giving any thought at
all to providing the taxpayers of
this state with a more efficient gov
ernment and new and better safe
guards against more financial crises
in the future. Only this morning,
the leader of the House again ask
ed publicly for new taxes to be
placed on the people of this state
without even mentioning action
on urgently needed improvements
in the government.
