PaBudget: Democrats Find Things They Dont Want to Tax October 1 2009
Here I thought the only thing that Democrats wouldn’t tax was abortion.
In case you’ve missed it, Democratic backbenchers have been pretty much in open rebellion over just about every revenue-raising proposal that their leaders signed off on in the $27.9 billion compromise plan.
A coalition of 30 Democrats has effectively threatened to blow up the deal if Democratic bosses don’t back off from a plan to expand oil and natural gas drilling in state forest land. Southeastern Democrats are in an uproar over a planned tax on theater and museum tickets. And Western Democrats have a serious bee in their collective bonnets over the proposal to tax small games of chance.
Apart from that, everything’s going just fine.
It’s going to month four sans budget.
Are we really any worse off?
(yes, i know some schools are waiting for books)
