Attorney General William Schnader defends ruling that an $8,000,000 bank tax was effectively imposed by the legislature via the four mill tax on interest bearing accounts and the Einstein bill. Moves to nullify his decision arise as critics question legality. The ruling supports a $45,000,000 state fund plan for unemployment. Lawmakers seek to exempt bank accounts from taxation, while Pinchot advocates opposing attempts to overturn Schnader.
