On December 9, 2009 the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee held a hearing to review the findings of the “Tax Commission,” or the “Commission on the 21st Century Economy.” I was able to obtain video of all three and a half hours of the hearing for your viewing pleasure.
The first clip includes an introduction from Committee Chair Lois Wolk and testimony from the Commission Chair, Gerald Parsky:
