I've been in day-long meetings all day yesterday and today. But, have I not said, the surplus will be $1.4B? Watch and see - by 6/30/05 the surplus will equal the amount of tax increase pushed through last year.
Even if finishing the car tax goes through both houses, Warner will veto. I'd bet a box of Krispy Kremes on that. I'm not convinced Warner will sign a rollback on the sales tax on food. That $1.4B is burning a hole in Warner's and the RINO's pockets. They are itching to spend that money.
I am disgusted with all of them, but then you all knew that already.
We're not going to see a penny refunded to us. There's very little doubt in my mind that most of that money is going to go into the Chesapeake 2000 program, even though cleaning up the Bay really should be primarily the federal government's responsibility, and the money we pump in will have little or no noticeable impact on the amount of nitrogen and phosphorous pollution flowing into the Bay due to an ever-increasing population.
Not sure who I'm more disgusted with...probably the RINOS...MUD
