[Read my Lips...ha no mas se' el pollo loco I be]
Gov. Brian Sandoval won his second term with ... "We saw voters basically say 'no' to the idea that we can simply raise taxes and spend our way to greater ...then turns around and speaks during a memorial service in ... The $1.1 billion package raises taxes on small businesses and cigarettes,The $1.1 billion package raises taxes on businesses and cigarettes, and it makes permanent a $500 million bundle of temporary payroll and sales taxes. ...and not to forget a raise in tax on vehicle registration! I for one pay $33.00 for vehicle registration and a added general tax of $52.00 whats up with that where does that tax money go?
I talked to several friends who own small businesses and they told me their business license fee went up some 66%...they also questioned why cigarettes went up $1.00 tax per pack while no increase on cigars,chew and snuff!
Governor Sandoval just committed political suicide akin to HW Bush 41...he has lost all credibility with the conservative base~ middle class and small business... his only options now are retirement or hoping for a political appointment in the future...he wasn't a great judge before becoming Governor so no SCOTUS appointment in his future after this fiasco! *Lacks credibility/honesty*
Sen. Don Gustavson said legislators "should be ashamed of themselves to force through the largest tax increase in Nevada's history that includes the type of tax that voters did not support."
"And you wonder why our constituents distrust politicians?" he added.
