Obviously the politicians (especially Pat Bauer) in the legislature don’t care about government reform and reduction as the Sheppard-Kernan report recommended. Local government’s are going to have their hands tied to a certain extent if the state politicians don’t get their act together and get some real legislation in place to reduce government. That, as common sense dictates, is the only way we are going to see real tax reform. Shifting taxes around from one form to another is only history repeating itself and if the politicos aren’t smart enough to see that, then they gotta go!

He will not last beyond one term if he can’t turn out the high paid slop Bart hired and raised up.

But which would you prefer: leaving the .65% income tax in place or an increase (relative) in the property taxes? Since Ballard ran on a desire to reduce dependence on property taxes, wouldn’t it make sense to keep the income tax in place and make sure that it offsets property taxes?

If the state picks up the tab, you’d better believe he should revoke the income tax hike.

If he doesn’t, then all the anti-tax sentiment that he rode to victory is completely hollow.
