But 30 pounds per person would be more…

When Rep. Dell Raybould, R-Rexburg, made the motion to introduce the new grocery tax relief bill in Rev & Tax this morning, he noted a “grammatical correction” needed in the bill’s statement of purpose. “On the third line, that is $30 instead of 30 pounds,” Raybould said, prompting some puzzled laughter. Now, it wasn’t that the bill actually was written with the new grocery tax credit translated into British pounds – if it had been, it would have been more generous. But a typo placed a pound sign - # - in front of the 30 instead of a dollar sign. It’ll be corrected.
