Don't tax you... And don't tax me...
Tax that man... Behind that tree...
Well... This just proves that Damnocrat Davis doesn't want any smokers to make too much money or buy too much stuff in his empire!!!
Which also means that smokers won't have any money left to buy much of anything since they'll lose their enthusiasm for making a lot of money.
That is, unless, they incorporate in NV, buy 6 cartons when they go to Reno and shop at WALMART & SAMS CLUB in Medford, OR when they go there. Oh, and they should gas up in either place as there's no MTBE in their gasoline!!!
I guess northern CA folks could look upon these as fringeborder benefits, as of now.
Ernesto... That link read like a bunch of frogs about halfway to a full boil!!!
One of our County Supervisors said that only about 6-10% of the County budget may be spent at the Board's discretion. The services this money must fund is police, fire, public health. The rest is already allocated for programs by the state legislature. If they devolve administration for these pet state entitlement programs back to the county, we will be unable to fund the basic services for which government is instituted in the first place.
I know that our volunteer fire departments will close their doors if they do no get help on workers comp and training costs as mandated by the recent union-inspired law on training requirements.
I also know that the state legislature handed the counties the new responsibility to be the "employer of record" for the in-home services work force (those who do shopping, maintenance and personal services for the elderly/disabled.)
This will require a new administrative force.
I think the Davis plan might be challengeable.
I think we also need to re-examine what services government should provide beyond protection of public health and safety, security of property and common infrastructure (roads.)
