Frankfort picks your tax increase poison for you

There is increasing buzz around Frankfort about the next effort to raise taxes on Kentuckians.

A cigarette tax is considered a path of somewhat limited resistance, but most forget how easy it is for House and Senate members alike to justify raising taxes on businesses.

That's what they tried to do with HB 302 in the 2008 session. And they succeeded in doing so with HB 258.

Expect them to come back for another bite of the apple in 2009. I'd say a second shot at HB 302 is a fairly likely suspect.

For the children, of course.
