Kaufman warns the court decision will cost about 20 million dollars in rebates to firms, especially railroads, affected by the interstate clause in the transportation privilege tax. The state cannot tax intrastate and interstate operations under the commerce clause. The sales tax favors manufacturers by paying 4.71 percent versus seven percent for others, and the interim committees planned to study drunken driving, family clinics and conflict of interest laws.
