hey maxie, how are they feeling about the sales tax increase down your way in ole Virginny?

[maxwell]

I can't really tell, chickie... I know how I feel, yers truly will be voting AGAINST any tax increase. Hell, cut the arts budget. Cut the park bathroom budget. There's plenty o' fluff cash already. I am a strict anti-tax Republican.

I've talked to some other folks about this-- greenie folks that are concerned about the effect that highway construction has on the deer habitat and whatnot-- some conservatives whose opinions I hold alot higher than those of rapid treehuggers who told me they'll be cussin' me out when they're stuck on I-64 in rush hour traffic... So it seems like a mixed bag-- probably be a close one...
