There is no mention of a sales tax in the governors balance proposal.  There is only mention of a personal income tax.  Many more would support his position without an income tax even if a sales tax were part of it.  Why do you continue to fail to mention that?  You always refer to a "personal/sales" tax as part of the proposal when only an income tax is included in the proposal.  Why?  I understand it may be more politically expedient to soothe the D's frayed emotions but that is hardly what is best for the state.
