HB13, Occupational Tax passes the House

With a vote of 17 to 15 the occupational tax, HB13, passed the House. Currently the House is debating HB16 by Rep. DeMarco relating to a county manager/comptroller.

Before final passage of HB13, Rep. Craig Ford rose to the mic to call out Governor Riley regarding the PACT fund. Ford says that he wants the Governor to get out of the dug out and start paying the game. Ford thinks the Governor should have saved the people's money and waited one more week to call the special session so the legislature could have addressed PACT and Jefferson County together. PACT is set to receive a report from the RSA this week.
