Wayne Swearingen of the Independent Petroleum Association calls the Senate action a singular defeat for Governor Hall's oil and gas tax. The Senate approved a $20.5 million tax package but lacked enough votes to attach the emergency clause, delaying it until a possible statewide referendum. Swearingen doubts voters will back higher taxes without government efficiency gains.
