CHEYENNE -- Gov. Dave Freudenthal encouraged the Legislature to remove the tax on groceries permanently during his fifth State of the State address Wednesday morning.

Freudenthal said he believes that permanent removal of the tax enjoys wide, bipartisan support. The Legislature last year approved a two-year suspension of the tax, but the tax will return unless there's action to repeal it.
