2007 House Bill 5198 (Impose new 6 percent tax on many services ) (House Roll Call 372)
Passed in the House (57 to 51) on September 18, 2007, to exempt disabled veterans from the state 6 percent use tax. The bill was passed and sent to the Senate as a "vehicle" for a possible tax on some services, but without that actual provision. This was done because bills must "lay over" in the other body for at least five days before being voted on, and if a tax increase is to be approved by Oct. 1 it is necessary to have a "vehicle" bill that has done so.

The vote was 57 in favor, 51 opposed, and 2 not voting

1) Opposing Taxes [by Anonymous Citizen on October 27, 2008]Is both instinctive and easy. For everybody. But it is not necessarily responsible or conservative.
Making sure there is adequate revenue to fund services provided by government is tougher, because it is realistic, responsible and sometimes means supporting tax increases. It also is being genuinely conservative.
