FLASHPOINT for May 04, 2007

Friday, May 4, 2007 | 7:05 a.m.

Many business interests want new taxes for roads. Chan- cellor Jim Rogers wants a state income tax for higher education. And now the state teachers union is looking into a tax initiative to fund lower ed. Where does all of this end? Probably not with ... many new taxes. The cycle has begun anew, folks, and nobody seems to have the memory to remember we do this every few years. It's near the end of a session and money is scarce and everyone wants a bigger pie. Legislators look ahead to the next election, with Democrats talking big but doing little and Republicans talking cuts and providing little. The question is: When will this cycle change? When will someone synthesize all these needs, come up with a plan and pass it? Any takers?
