Yes I am! Ehrlich and his loud mouthed wife were a nightmare for the state. They were two unpleasant people. I would rather keep the higher sales tax than have to put up with those two jerks. He can take his patent leather hair, spray tan, and crawl back under his rock.Is anyone really sitting in jail in Ohio for marijuana or prostitution? Usually there is something else that they have done--SELLING drugs, or theft, or assault, etc. I don't think the state is going broke because of marijuana users.
Anyway, in Maryland this past election, the past governor, Erhlich, was trying again to defeat the current governor, O'Malley. Ehrlich ran on the idea that he didn't raise taxes. Many people pointed out that although he didn't raise taxes, he did raise fees. So this is probably how these republicans in Ohio will handle it. Raise the fees on drivers licenses, contractor licenses, building permits, hunting, fishing permits, marriage licenses--there's a whole slew of "fees" they can raise and then sashay around and claim they didn't raise taxes!
Maryland is a suburb of DC. I put them in the same bucket of "fucked up beyond all recognition" as New York and California.
Now you got a guy who will raise fees AND taxes.
Happy?
You have the luxury of doing it, because your economy is little more than a parasite of the Federal government.
