FLASHPOINT for May 07, 2007

Monday, May 7, 2007 | 7:16 a.m.

What is the definition of a tax increase? We are going to find out in the next few weeks what the governor's definition is. He's already equivocated on whether fees are tantamount to taxes, first saying they were, then saying he would veto any bills with them and now saying he might consider them. But what about toll roads? Is that a tax increase? What about if you change the depreciation schedule on cars to pay for roads? Isn't that a tax increase? And if you sign a bill that suspends tax breaks for companies that build environmentally sensitive structures, isn't that a tax increase? Can't wait to see how all of this is parsed as the session winds down. If only life were as simple as saying "no new taxes," eh, governor?
