The aide I talked to was a Ms. Smart A--. I talked to her for a few minutes and expressed my dismay that her legislature wouldn't listen to the state's people. I had told her where I was calling from and she started dissing our state for it's taxes. I said, yes lady, I know what it's like to live under an oppresive system. So do your citizens and they don't want it. She was flippant and couldn't have cared less.
I once again reminded her that the citizens of her state had made it abundantly clear that they didn't want a state income tax, and asked her what they had to do to get it through the governor's fat head. She made some flippant remark and I said, you know what, I hope your citizens come down there and light a match to the place.
LOL, these folks couldn't give a damn what their constituants want. Ah representative government at it's best.
The phone number for the capital is 615-741-3569. Ask for the governor's office.
