Good morning, Whitewater
There is one municipal public meeting scheduled for the city today. At 5 p.m., there’s a scheduled meeting of the Landmarks Commission. The agenda for a meeting tonight is not yet online, as of this post.
On this date in 1861, the federal government levied an income tax for the first time. The tax was part of the federal Revenue Act of 1861: “Rates under the Act were 3% on income above $800 (adjusted for inflation: $17,679 in as of 2008 dollars [2]) and 5% on income of individuals living outside the country.”
