Blagojevich vows to veto any income tax increase for education
CHICAGO (AP) ? Gov. Rod Blagojevich has said he would veto any school-funding reforms if they included increasing income taxes because he’s not convinced raising income taxes would solve inequities in state school funding.
“I’ll veto any bill that raises the income tax in whatever form,” the Democratic governor told the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board Thursday.
Just asking, but isn’t whether the inequities are addressed a detail that should be part of the consideration? Instead of saying that you are against any increase, how about setting out specific conditions under which you would accept such an increase–one of those being that it actually solves inequities….
Another conditions could be that such an increase is revenue neutral.
