“Amidst sticky budget situation marked by a $3.2 billion deficit, Rep. Daryl Metcalfe wants taxpayers to leave Post-it Note messages on lawmakers’ doors condemning tax increases. ‘You can’t ask people to nail their protest to a government door,’ said Mr. Metcalfe, R-Cranberry. Last week, the governor proposed temporarily increasing the income tax from 3.07 to 3.57. The increase would provide $1.5 billion to offset the governor’s $28.9 billion in proposed spending for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.” (06/23/09)
