Anti-tax Republicans in the House called for roll call votes on a series of amendments, apparently hoping to get Democrats and moderate Republicans on the record for voting against popular tax breaks such as the sales tax exemption for churches. Democrats and moderate Republicans joined for a majority vote to postpone action on the tax bill until May 3. Pictured here, left, is House Majority Leader Ray Merrick, R-Stillwell. If 10 members raise their hands then a roll-call vote is in order.
