Amarillo Oil Joins in Test of New Gas Levy
Three pipeline firms led by Amarillo Oil join the first test cases challenging Texas gas gathering tax. The suits argue the levy of about one half penny per 1000 cubic feet burdens interstate commerce and is unconstitutional. If won, funds paid under protest may be refunded.
