"Correction: The print version of this story stated that the proposed tax extension would last an additional 13 years. Actually, the proposal would extend the current tax by 16 years."

Now it's only 15 years. It originally had an end date after 16 years but they say that was a clerical error just like the extra two words.

Trust us. We can't manage a ballot measure properly but give us money anyway.

Here we go again.. Our Government asking for a exception to the rules all in the name of "good faith".

How about you allow me to ignore some rules, in good faith that is?

Sorry, but the first group of people who should be following the rules is the government. The rules are too complicated? Then change them.. otherwise pay up when you break them.

Whether it's 13 years, or 15years, or 16 years.. that tax will never actually go away. There's nothing more permanent than a temporary tax increase.

To the chairwarmers who missed a dead ( and I mean REALLY DEAD ) line

Bzzt. Sorry, no do overs. Better luck next time.

Remember the days when we tarred & feathered AND rode out of town on a splintery fence rail these types of poliTICKal people?

Yeah, Don't we remember that these people served in the public interest and not the way we get these days...
