Finally, after more than three months, the tax discussion begins this week in Carson City. They have not said a word about it yet in those private meetings. No siree. No spreadsheets of various possibilities have been passed around for months. No discussion started in January about using the payroll tax and the sales tax. There hasn’t been any talk at all of using local government tax money to make up for the state’s deficit. And no one has whispered about going after mining or trucking. These discussions will begin this week, all of these brand-new ideas will be talked about and they will be thoroughly vetted in committee hearings in a deliberative process that will produce a well-thought-out plan. Really. It’s true. Just ask them.
