Transcript for: Sen. Deb Cherry speaks in support of the Prusi substitute to HB 5408 as a bipartisan solution to replacing the service tax — November 20, 2007 I think that this substitute is a very good solution to a problem that we are facing now. It again brings us very close to the original House version. It raises the cap and lowers the surcharge, which is what I heard in testimony over in the Finance Committee last week as being a problem. I think that, again, as I said earlier, it is a solution with a Senate fix on it. It is bipartisan in nature. We can all easily support this and go home knowing that we have fixed a very serious problem without extending it into the future. It also is very important because it fully replaced revenue and it replaces that revenue permanently. I ask that members support it. |
