If they'd quit paying cashiers (toll takers) $66,000.00/year, stop paying police officers to do the detail work that flag people do in EVERY state except MA, and end abuse of the welfare system, perhaps they wouldn't need $12.5Billion to keep the libraries going. It's not as though the income tax would be eliminated anyway. The legislature will just thumb their noses at us like they did when we tried to cut it to 5%.
I've read a lot of honest concerns from opponents of Question 1 about how drastic a measure it is. Will the libraries close? Will firefighters show up when my house is burning down?
I've also read that if Question 1 passes, the tax revenue the state collects would be cut all the way back to the levels of ...(drum roll)... 1995.
I wonder if libraries and emergency services existed back in these ancient times.
I am so worried about losing library services, especially in tough times when so many people will be depending on libraries for reading material, videos, computer support, job-hunting materials, etc. YES means our library hours and services will be cut to the point where it will be diffcult to restore them even when/if funding is restored. I AM VOTING NO!
If Question 1 passes it will be the best thing that ever happens to the state. It will cut waste from state government and return money to the taxpayers. It will break the stranglehold that unions have on our government, too.
Wow, annhorwitz's comment looks pretty staged and another attempt to blind the public with lies and propaganda. When question 1 passes, the state will still receive 30 billion a year in tax revenue's, that the state tells us about. You're a retard if you believe that 30 billion isn't enough to fund the police, fire, roads and bridges for a year! If they can't, that says something about how they spend your money, doesn't it...
Someone needs to tell her that property taxes pay for schools, fire and police and that gasoline and diesel taxes as well as auto excise taxes pay for roads and bridges. What a shill!

Wow Question 1 looks pretty nuts. I hope everyone votes NO to save not only our libraries but our schools, fire and police, and roads and bridges!
