We now have a 10 cents a gallon tax on gas which further increases the gap between what we pay and the average in the lower 48. Offset property taxes? Once a politician gets their hands on your money they never let go. Then we have the proposal for the 2 cent (which can increase to 6 without discussion) tax on alcohol. As someone already observed, tax one item at a time and the public doesn't get a say. Personally, next election not one incumbent will get my vote.
