Senate Rejects Plan to Employ Tax Snoopers in Alabama
The Alabama Senate voting 18 to 8 rejected an amendment to the general revenue bill that would allow the State Tax Commission to hire deputy tax assessors on a commission basis to target escaped personal property and undervalued real estate. Senator Hardy Riddle argued it would enforce due taxes, while Walton opposed tax snoopers. The measure would have paid 10 percent commissions on collected taxes, replacing the current law's 20 percent.
