Potential Massachusetts Governor Voices Tax Concerns before Congress.
Byline: Glen Johnson
Mar. 15--WASHINGTON -- Jane Swift yesterday delivered her first testimony to Congress as the governor in waiting, but her complaints about Internet taxation, and her fear it could create a second Internal Revenue Service, left some senators shaking their heads in disbelief.
"I don't think she knows what she's talking about," Senator Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, said in a break with the Senate's normally collegial atmosphere.
"You can't come to the Congress and just not know your subject," Rockefeller, a former governor, said as he left the Senate Commerce Committee hearing. "She missed the point and then denied missing the point. It was embarrassing -- for her."
A Swift aide took issue with the criticisms.
