Alabama Senate Delays Goode Measure on Warrant Financing
The Alabama Senate finance and taxation committee postponed the Goode general appropriation bill to seek consideration of the Goode warrant issuance measure for refinancing the state floating debt. The Goode bill later earned a second reading and calendar placement for passage as the House passed the Parker bill allowing counties to fund teachers’ salaries from the treasury. The Poole gasoline tax bill passed the House 53 to 32, with safeguards for counties if the 1931 tax allocation is ruled illegal.
