Liberal Larry does a pretty good job of listing all the wonderful new taxes the Democrat-controlled state Senate and House are proposing. With our (hopefully temporary) Democrat governor to rubber-stamp anything they put on her desk, we're looking at some fun times.
Actually, the situation with the gas tax is a bit more complex. What I've been hearing is that Republicans have said they'll vote for that tax, and only that tax, provided the Democrats work with them to pass legislation that will allow the state auditor to perform real independent audits of the transportation department. Since we're probably going to get a gas tax, we damn sure want to know that the money isn't being wasted.
I've been wanting to post about the goings on in our state capitol for some time, but there's been so much that I just can't wrap my head around it all. The post linked above is a good start. Now I need to find a good wrapup of all the problems with the gubernatorial election last November (i.e. fraud and incompetence were rampant). Stay tuned....
