Letter: Guinn’s move is bullying tactic

Thursday, July 3, 2003 | 8:59 a.m.

It seems Gov. Kenny Guinn has decided to strong-arm his tax plan into action just like a big bully. Our Legislature is elected by us, the people, and therefore express the wants and desires of the people.

Why have a Legislature at all if Guinn can simply run to court when he wants something. What a great example our state is setting for the rest of this country; first our kids can't achieve the scores we set for them so we simply lower the scores, then our governor can't get his ludicrous tax bill passed so he runs to court to force taxes on the people who don't want them. Brilliant!
