Gov McBride's first annual message attacks railroad tax avoidance
Gov McBride criticizes railroad tax practices and the merger as unconstitutional. He cites reports showing railroads pay taxes on 20.6 million while property valuation is 200 million, arguing reform would lower statewide taxes. He notes a US Supreme Court case and questions political honesty amid party pledges. He also blasts the lobbying environment and calls for fair taxation.
