Lawmakers refuse to raise tax

Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2002 | 10:53 a.m.

HELENA -- A legislative committee decided Monday not to gamble on a bill that would raise millions of dollars by changing the tax on video poker and keno machines.

Members of the House Taxation Committee rejected, 17-3, a proposal to increase the tax rate on machines in larger casinos and decrease the rate on machines in businesses with five or fewer gambling machines.
