The state is already well below projections regarding revenue so there may be no "surplus" funds to draw from.<BR/>I think that when a shortfall occurs that the first place to reduce spending should be in the districts of legislators who signed the pledge. Let them explain to their constituents why projects aren’t getting done. This is just a shell game and Saxman knows it. To say as he does, “Lifting exemptions on those who do not pay current rates of taxation, temporarily or permanently, does not violate a no-tax pledge.” Is misleading on a grand scale. I’m sure that the businesses who must then pay more in taxes would feel like they’re…. paying more in taxes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472155030872863948.post-85790012055860680452007-06-24T21:41:00.000-04:002007-06-24T21:41:00.000-04:00It's more of that Grover Norquist nonsense that dr...It's more of that Grover Norquist nonsense that drove the failed Scott Sayre campaign, the aftermath of which is causing the SWAC Republicans to implode, even as we speak.<BR/>here's a quote from Norquist:<BR/><I>We are trying to change the tones in the state capitals - and turn them toward bitter nastiness and partisanship.</I><BR/>Is this, then, what we can expect from Saxman when and if he returns to Richmond?<BR/>It's a shame there's no one to challenge him.<BR/>It's that "play to the idiot base" one note anti tax sonata again, and decent, thinking voters should find it quite insulting.<BR/>I'm glad he's not my representative.<BR/>I'd leave it blank before I'd vote for him.kestrel9000https://www.blogger.com/profile/18430351893471495541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472155030872863948.post-31081961790426263562007-06-24T21:17:00.000-04:002007-06-24T21:17:00.000-04:00You can tell when someone inherits wealth.

And they don't understand, or won't accept the need to invest for the future.
