House Republicans on the conference committee so far aren’t too excited about splitting the difference to $87,500, and are pushing for sticking with their proposal of $100,000. They also want an economic “trigger,” and when Sen. Brent Hill asked if there’s general support for that idea, there was a chorus of “yes” around the table. When he asked if there was agreement to move from a business-site approach for the exemption to a countywide approach – one exemption per company per county – there were nods all around.
