12 years since IWILL passed via referendum and now there is an opportunity to finally fund it. Please hold your state senators accountable to fund IWILL with the proposed 1% sales tax increase, and not let special interests groups <cough> FB <cough> carve out “their share” away from our original intent of the referendum.

Already pay 7% almost everywhere. Assume 1% is local. So this would make it 8%. Where does it end?!

I thought for some reason IWILL was nuked with the new flat tax?

Where does it end?!

It ends when they take your whole check and give you what they think you need! 7.9% inflation and gas nearing $4 a gallon=piss poor timing.

I looked through this bill very quickly. Anything over 1 page and I lose interest. Somewhere down in the explanation I read that the local 1% sales tax goes away (sundowns?) so there shouldn't be a gain in taxes but I'm not sure when the local taxes go away. The taxes the local towns lose gets made up by the state increase.

Nobody wants to pay more taxes. Nobody wants to pay more for privileges. I guess it's pick your poison. At least if we pay more for privileges that money should go for that privilege.

Timing is tough but, if I recall correctly (not sure, correct me on this) - we just did or are slashing state income tax by a couple % or so?
