- Don't double or triple the car registration fees, just raise it $20 on everyone.
- Tax to-go orders on food. That's at least 40 cents for every $5 footlong.
- Legalize it! And tax it up the ying yang.
- Release anyone from jail who's in on marijuana possession or cultivation for personal use.
- Extra tax on fast food.
- Extra tax on cigarettes.
- Extra tax on soda pop.
- Extra tax on liquor.
- Extra tax on candy bars.
- Give state empoyees incentives for cutting costs. I've been a state employee for seven years now, and it's insane how much waste there is. Not on employee salaries, but on stuff like paper, leaving lights on, leaving computers on, traveling to meaningless conferences, etc. The importance of being efficient has simply never been a priority.
- Allow state agencies some flexibility in purchasing supplies. Prices online or at places like Fry's are a fraction of what contractors charge. The prices paid to contractors is ridiculous.
- Stop using the PIA, a racket if there ever was one. Use prison labor to build furniture, then overcharge agencies to buy the most hideous, unusable crap ever. Um, Ikea, anyone?
Am I raising taxes? Yes, but all are avoidable, except for the registration fees. Get over it.
You're welcome.
