Gekas Supports Estate
Transfer Proposal,
Deductions
Insurance
ANDY ANDREWS
Lancaster Farming Staff
EPHRATA (Lancaster Co.)
Affirming his stance has being
“close to fanners,” U.S. Rep.
Geoige W. Gekas (R-17th Dist)
took in several campaign stops in
the area to field questions from the
community Thursday.
Because of the reapportionment
of distiicts which takes place Janu
ary 1,1993, if elected, Gekas will
serve areas previously held by
Rep. Roben Walker.

Gekas said that he supports a
bill, currently endorsed by farm
backed groups such as the Pen
nsylvania Fanners Association
and others, that would allow far
mers to transfer their estates with
out the excessive burden of the
transfer tax.
Gekas said he also supports a tax
deduction for health insurance pre
miums “one hundred percent," he
said. “In short, whatever the far
mer association says to this city kid
about farm matters, I listen very
closely and I honor their
viewpoints on those things."
Many of the questions that
Gekas answered related to the cur
rent recession, which Gekas
blames largely because of the 1986
tax revision. The revisions disal
lowed income averaging for far
mers, to buoy them up in case of
drought or other income-reducing
events.
The tax revision, he said, “has
in my judgement helped cause the
economical destablization we’re in
right now. Many of those things I
pointed out were directly inimical
to the farmer, and I stated this on
the floor.”
Gekas said he found SO different
flaws in the bill, and several
unfriendly to farm and farm indus
tries. One of them was the income
averaging provision. “We used to
give (farmers) the privilege of
income averaging so that they
could come out better, and they
ripped that away in the ’B6” bill,
he said.
“Almost everything that the
past Congress has tried to do has
had some adverse affect on some
sector of the economy,” said
Gekas. The representative said that
if a cure were to take place, there
would be need for “some deficit
spending in the first rung of the
ladder by which we’re going to
climb out of this recession” by
using the surplus from the highway
trust fund. He supports the bill “0
By 2000," which includes many
areas subject to cutbacks and
freezes, including portions of cut
backs fostered by the Gram-
Rudman-Hollings Act.
Currently, Gekas’s office
includes 14 people in four offices.
With the reapportionment, Gekas
will set up three offices in Harris
burg and in Lebanon and Lancaster
counties.
