The Senate has voted 18-16 in favor of SB 1103, a $200,000 supplemental appropriation for staff in the audits and collections program and the revenue operations division of the state Tax Commission, barely passing the bill and sending it to the House.

Monty Pearce, R-New Plymouth, said he heard from a constituent that the Tax Commission treated him far worse than the IRS when the constituent had a dispute with both/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.
