Starting with the downfall of the Casino bill in the New Hampshire House, voices started peeping about how this was really some progressive plot to pass an income tax. I guess the two were being connected somehow? The Democrats voted the Casino bill down so they could use its death as an excuse to summon up a new broad based tax.
Fortunately for us the same House that voted down the casino bill never included the assumed Casino revenue in their budget. The State senate never included any casino money in their budget either. No one except the governor did and her budget has now been through the House and the Senate sans Casino revenue of any kind.
So relax.
