Levied Tax Shifts From Carbon Black to Gas Piping
Proposals aim to replace about half a million dollars in annual carbon black revenue by raising the severance tax on gas piped out of the state. Bills not yet drawn and exact severance tax details unrevealed. Independent carbon companies would bear the tax, potentially offsetting repeal effects.
Senate moves on proposals amid broad legislative push
The public service commission would gain power to set reasonable gas rates and storage charges under Proposal 70. An abolition plan would move inheritance tax collections to an assistant attorney general at 6000 annually. Senate bills seek to compel testimony by rejected officers, halt salaries of unconfirmed appointees, and empower oaths and subpoenas for the highway investigation. Twenty seven more bills were filed as the session nears adjournment. five measures passed and one was killed.
