Taxes
Gov. Jim Gibbons' (R-NV) latest "up yours" to the casino industry isn't even playing well with the leader of Nevada's Grover Norquist Fan Club, Chuck Muth. The latter's reaction to Gibbons' pious proclamation that he "cannot accept" any income, sales, property or gasoline tax increases on Nevadans was: "But raising taxes on our tourists and Nevadans traveling in-state is something the governor apparently CAN accept. Funny how he neglected to say that, huh?"
Jim Gibbons thinks he's seen this fellow somewhere before but can't quite place him.
Working towards his peroration, Muth adds, "And finally Gov. Gibbons said he wouldn’t support any tax hike 'that targets only our profitable companies and industries.' Instead, he’s proposing a tax hike that targets the very people necessary to make many of our state’s companies and industries profitable. Oy vey."
For a governor who claims to be all het up about the need to stimulate tourism, Midnight Jim sure has some funny ideas about how to roll out the welcome mat. And while Muth and I would disagree vehemently, perhaps violently, about the solution, we're both in firm agreement that "sticking it to our dwindling number of tourists" ain't it.
