Recently, the Mayor interrupted a School Board Meeting with a pitch to convince the School Board Members to vote against Question 1, the Elimination of the Income Tax. Certainly surprised that it even became part of the meeting, I still felt the Mayor's urgency in addressing this issue at a School Board Meeting impressed me that Income Tax was in real danger of being eliminated. |

The income tax question on the ballot this fall is a reckless proposal that will have severe and immediate consequences for all of us. This binding referendum will take $12.7 billion—nearly 40 percent—out of the state budget, driving up local property taxes and leading to drastic cuts in services.
