From the transcript
Including the addition from House Finance. Want to commend their work that allows for a 93-7 split of the alternate volumetric tax, 93% of the AVT going to the host municipalities and 7% to the state. We all like to defer to local control whenever possible, but Mr. Speaker, this is one example where we only benefit when we act as one state with one tax structure. And for those reasons, I would just say this amendment would carry forward the instability this House Finance Committee version is trying to fix. And for those reasons, I would oppose the amendment.
