Then the House amended the Senate bill with a one of its own, with bigger tax cuts than the Senate version, but not as much as the governor wanted, and local revenue losses somewhere in the middle. That’s the bill that became law.

It can help sort out the complexities of that dreaded bill. It’s coming to your mailbox soon!
