LGC 12.12 - Don't Encourage Drug Use Act - STATUTE

[Pyro]

Reminder that the No Unjust Taxation Act eliminated a totally unnecessary flat sales tax in Lincoln. We are running a budget surplus in this region, so there is no need to haphazardly increase taxes.

Curiously, the language in this bill does not care to mention the sales tax whatsoever, only the vice tax portion. Again, if you wish to increase the vice tax on alcohol, tobacco, etc, that is a fair debate, but to re-institute a financial burden on working families in unconscionable.

I would encourage the government of Lincoln oppose this measure, and if you seek to raise the vice taxes, to introduce a new bill on the matter that specifically addresses this concern.
