So far the program has not really addressed what would happen without M66/67. No bills are perfect, but I’m a little tired of corporations paying $10 a year when the rest of us shoulder the burden of health care, education, and other key social services in the state. It’s about time for a little more equity in the system for the taxpayer. If businesses need to raise some prices, so be it, we will still have the choice of whether or not to buy those services.
