Senate passes tax commission bill with one amendment
Standard Staff Correspondent reports the Montana Senate approved the administration tax commission bill by 50 to 3 with one absent, sending it back to the house for a minor amendment before governor approval. Critics said the measure cedes all state taxing power to the governor, while supporters argued it creates needed efficiency. An attempt to cut salaries and limit expert hires failed, and the bill proceeds toward final enactment.
