Throughout his 17 terms in the House, Rep. Greg Davids (R-Preston) has become known for lending nicknames to the biennial House tax bills, often appropriating the name of a popular song.
He borrowed from the Beatles in calling the bipartisan 2025 edition the “We Can Work It Out” tax bill.
Upon hearing this, his co-chair of the House Taxes Committee, Rep. Aisha Gomez (DFL-Mpls), replied with a lyric from the song, “Life is very short and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend.”
Sponsored by Davids and unveiled at Tuesday’s committee meeting, HF2437 was replaced by a delete-all amendment and further amended. Then the committee approved it by voice vote without dissent and referred it to the House Ways and Means Committee.
