The Alabama House convened this morning at 9:00 am CT. First on the calendar was HB13, the occupational tax legislation for Jefferson County sponsored by Representative John Rogers. Discussion followed with Rep. Buskey offering an amendment that would give money from the occupational tax to Barber Motor Speedway.
Also questioning the bill was Rep. Gibson who questioned the effects of the bill on employees who work outside of Jefferson County but their parent company resides in Jefferson County which the checks are cut. Rep. Rogers confirmed that only people who actually work in Jefferson County will be taxed; those working outside of the county will not be taxed.
It is not clear if a filibuster will ensue, stay tuned. The controversial county manager, comptroller bill is next on the schedule.
