Bill ending tax on groceries called 'pipe dream' by Republican leader

State Sen. Bo Watson said he knew he wasn't going to get a bill removing the tax on groceries through a Tennessee Senate subcommittee with a positive recommendation. 

He was right. 

"Any questions for the sponsor that may break up this pipe dream here?" asked committee Chairman Joey Hensley, R-Hohenwald. 

Watson's bill and a proposal by Sen. Charlene Oliver, R-Nashville, that would also remove the tax were given a negative recommendation by the Senate Finance, Ways, and Means subcommittee on Tuesday.
