The governor’s proposed constitutional amendment didn’t get enough support Wednesday to advance out of the Revenue Committee. It would have prevented local government revenue from growing by more than 3 percent annually.
The package stalled on a 4-2 vote, with two senators not voting. At least five votes were needed.
Another bill proposed by Ricketts advanced out of committee on a 6-2 vote, but no senator has designated it as a priority so it’s unlikely to be debated. That bill would have required the state to commit at least $275 million a year to a property tax credit.
