Richard,

The tax flattens the tax- raising the lowest brackets up to 6.5% and lowering taxes for the uppermost brackets (from a top of 8.5% to 6.75%). It also primarily expands the sales tax rather than raises is.

Both the Green and Republican parties opposed this measure (albeit for different reasons i think) and collected signatures for the same drive.

A woman who marries is not required to take her husband’s surname. This is just convention. So the challenge should be thrown out on that basis.

“States that require petition sheets to be notarized open the doors for additional types of challenges. Determined challengers may realize that the petition itself has enough signatures of registered voters, so then the challengers try to find something wrong with the paperwork involving notarization.”

This is one good reason why requirements to notarize petition sheets should be eliminated. There are already plenty of states that do NOT require petition sheets to be notarized and they get by just fine. Notarization requirements are just another unnecessary hoop to jump through and a complete waste of time and resources.

The EVIL Donkey / Elephant party hacks in the various minority rule gerrymander legislative bodies and the special interest gangs want NO opposition to their EVIL laws.

The regimes are now taxing / borrowing / spending about 40 percent of the GDP — for the benefit mainly of such special interest gangs.
