Steve Ogden (R-Bryan), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has said he needs “to think about†whether the legislature should do the right thing and stop collecting the tax, like they said they would when they implemented it. Mr. Ogden, there’s nothing to think about: Let taxpayers keep their money!
