Reintroducing this. I could have sworn it got enough signatures to get voted on but oh well....you need two, am I right?

Yes, this is the bill that did not get passed.  It requires two more signatures to move past the debate phase.

This should address the concerns of everybody, and eliminate the current situation we have where those making more than $50,000,000 are expected to pay 107% of their income in taxes, a situation that is clearly illegal.

For information sake, the low bracket remains 11% of incomes below $300,000 and 16% on incomes above $300,000, with a full Surtax kicking in at incomes over $50,000,000

Note I'm willing to accept amendment of the amount of the income cap, but I'll only accept it as friendly if it's move upwards. The current real cap is $50,000,000 and I wont stand it for being lowered.

All of the above legislation requires one more signature to move into the voting phase.

Okay, so here is a dilemma. Apparently, the constitution states that the governor voting booth should be open on the second Friday this month, as opposed to the penultimate Friday (which is usually when we open the booth).

Now, we can either immediately just start the election now, or we can postpone it to next weekend. What do you all think?

As you like. If you fear to have a dreadful turnout, maybe let's wait until next weekend. But it's not like these are very competitive elections it seems...

Well, considering we have one candidate declared, I expect this to be very nailbiting. Wink
