Tabor Update

The Taxpayer Bill of Rights bill will be going forward before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, March 23. From what I've heard, it isn't going to be delayed again.

The reason for the previous two delays, an attempt to change the rules to allow for a roll call vote (noted here on Tuesday), hasn't taken effect.

To explain further, the roll call rule would allow each member's vote to be recorded (so we all would know who votes which way). As it works now, the bill would just be sent to the Finance committee with a positive or negative recommendation. Hopefully the rule change can take effect before Tuesday (there's still a chance it will), but who knows.

Update: Forgot to include the time that the Senate Judiciary Committee will be meeting. It will be 3:30pm
