Capitol View

Not so fast...

Posted at 1:16 PM on April 20, 2006 by Bob Collins

Last night the Senate killed the omnibus tax bill, because of concern that it included property tax increases for businesses. So the DFL caucused today, and Dallas Sams moved for reconsideration, at which time Sen. Keith Langseth introduced an amendment -- approved -- that struck the property tax.

It's being debated again at this hour, Sen. Warren Limmer calling it "the Easter bill" because it has risen again. More later.

(Update) -- The bill passed on a 37-to-30 roll call vote.
