A bill to repeal our state grocery tax heads to the governor.
Democrats are for repealing it and Republicans are for keeping it. Our
tea party governor will ax the bill.
We also have a lovely gasoline tax here. The tax money helps our
government sue the federal government for anything regarded as
impingement of state's rights. The lawsuit bill runs pretty darn high
and always the suits come to naught.
