I happen to have been before the Municipal Affairs Committee a week age yesterday when the bill was discussed, and there was a question raised then as to its constitutionality.

That bill is House File 237. The bill proposing a tax on natural gas of five cents per thousand Cubic feet is Senate File 366.
