I think 1B also passed which, if I'm not mistaken, is the one that requires all the money previously stolen, er, borrowed from the previously passed transportation taxes has to be paid back before any more can be borrowed, and future borrowing must be done on emergency basis only, with payback within 3 years before more borrowing can be done under any circumstances.
It's a decent start toward reigning in the problem. But yeah, fits and starts, mistakes and corrections, over-reaching in all areas. Lawmaking is messy. Bleh.
I'm so sorry Big Tobacco and Big Oil won on their tax issues. People are sheep.
