The Challenging Ones. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
\n
\nWe discuss a number of "questionable" bills including:
\nSB 3040, allowing DAGS to impose a user fee on those wanting to get paid for goods or services furnished to the State;
\nHB 2179, which allows DOTAX to convert tax liens into civil judgments and extend the life of a tax debt from 15 to possibly 35 years (compare federal 10-year life);
\nHB 137, which cuts off an avenue of cooperation between county liquor inspectors and DOTAX investigators with respect to liquor tax and other tax issues; and
\nSB 2379, which expands the scope of responsibility of DOTAX's special enforcement section. Not that they need to, but DOTAX could use the money.
