Ambitious congressional agenda stalls in 2005: from Internet sales tax collection to tax-exempt bond regulations, GFOA's Federal Liaison Center will continue to represent the interests of state and local governments in Washington in 2006.(Government Finance Officers Association)
Congress began the 109th Session with grand ambitions, but unforeseen events prevented many of these new initiatives from moving forward. Social Security reform and various tax measures were moved to the backburner in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the focus on filling two vacancies on the Supreme Court.
