Largest tax increase in state history

With all of the publicity dealing with the removal of the state sales tax on food amendment, I am amazed that so few people realize that a huge tax increase is included. Maybe the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR STATE. Removing taxpayers ability to deduct federal income taxes from their state taxes cannot be labeled as anything but double taxation.

Contrary to some statistics floating around, an overwhelming majority of taxpayers will be paying more money in taxes. These are the people who pay the most for the government services that help our poorest citizens. Now they are asked to pay more.

Fortunately, the votes required to pass this constitutional amendment are lacking.

Busy Week in the State Senate
