MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - A bill requiring municipalities to go through the state legislature before instituting or raising an occupational tax cleared one of its last hurdles in the state legislature Thursday afternoon.
* * *
"It's simply having the ability to be represented," said Sen. Clyde Chambliss, R-Prattville, on the Senate floor. "What we're talking about is my ability to have a voice."
Chambliss echoed throughout the debate that the bill does not prevent municipalities from having occupational taxes.
