CONCORD — Republicans quashed efforts by Senate Democrats to create enabling legislation for municipal governments to have tourists pay more for their local impacts with fees, which was labeled a “pillow tax.”

Senate Bill 634 was rejected as being bad for tourism by Republicans but sought by Democrats to offset impacts in terms of municipal needs.
