Two other recommendations have not been acted on. They are exempting medical expenses and life insurance up to $250 a year from income taxes, and referal to the voters a building program financed by surplus income taxes. The Legislature undoubtedly will refer some type of building program but it is doubtful the lawmakers will go for exempting medical expenses and life insur ance from income taxes. The only item of the 10 major recommendations that appears definitely dead Is McKay's sugges tion that milk control enforcement be taken from the Agriculture Department.
