Senate committee meeting set in Gold Room

Senate Tax Chairman Hal Bunderson, R-Meridian, has scheduled a 90-minute hearing on the tax reform legislation, to begin shortly in the Gold Room on the 4th floor, the capitol’s largest hearing room. He has set strict time limits for committee discussion, weighing the pros and cons of the bill, and taking public testimony. Bunderson just briefed the full Senate about the plans, and then they went at ease for the committee hearing.

Senators said they hope to reconvene around 6 p.m. after the committee hearing.
