Let's go on offense.

I think we will. There's a movement getting underway to put together a referendum to limit state spending increases to be proportionate to population growth + inflation growth. Personally, I'd make it a little less, since a 3% increase in population shouldn't require 3% more state employees (economies of scale ought to kick in), but I'll take what I can get. We had a referendum like this that passed a while back, but they snuck a repeal of it into another referendum that passed. If it had been in effect the last few years, we wouldn't be in this mess.

If I am not mistaken, that is what they do in Colorado, which is great. But it is still staying on defense because it is a limit on spending, rather than a tax cut. I want to see an initiative that affirmatively cuts taxes. At the every least, a tax cut should be combined with the limit on spending so that people see they are getting to keep some of their hard-earned dollars in return for agreeing to limit state spending.

LOL! I love it! There is no way they could spin this much of a vehicle tax hike to look attractive to anyone! Dems are screwed.
