Two weeks ago we reported that a coming court ruling could cost the state billions as Judge John Dietz indicated his intent to exempt oil and gas extraction equipment from the state sales tax, which by some estimates could cost the state over $2 billion.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, the judge read in the Wall Street Journal that some “Texas judge had recently overturned 50 years of tax law and crippled the state budget,” and Judge Dietz was evidently shocked to find that he was that “fool” judge.
Dietz has scheduled a “stinkin” rehearing on the issue and will rule within a week. He is worried about “being in error."
