Taxes look inevitable for balanced budget

Add another name to the list of people who understand the budget and who understand that taxes will be part of the mix next session: Mary Lau. Lau, the veteran head of the Retailers Association of Nevada, said Monday on “Face to Face” the budget cannot be balanced without a tax increase. She indicated she thought a sales tax on services would be in the mix. Her comments came immediately after fiscal maven Jeremy Aguero said matter-of-factly that taxes will be needed. So that makes it almost unanimous — except, of course, for the two guys running for governor. The lies end in 2011.
