State House Today Weekly Update: Tax Relief Reserve Fund

The budget was picked up by the Senate yesterday, on Tuesday, May 15th, and with it a discussion on how to relief tax payers money. In this clip, Sen. Bryant argued for Amd. 2, H.4997, which would take the seven tax brakets and compress them into three, in order to give $78 Million in tax relief to tax payers. Sen. Leatherman wasn't against the idea, but made a point that those $78 Million would only be possible by cutting in other areas.
