You forgot to mention that other items besides tampons were to be exempted from sales taxes.  I agree this is a good veto. I live in a state that has made such a Swiss cheese out of its sales tax that if we removed all the exemptions we'd either double the revenue or could cut the rate in half. (And that's not even considering our back-to-school sale tax holiday, the best time of the year to get a wedding dress since as clothing it's exempted then, but only if you buy, not if you rent your dress.

You used to be able to get the EITC paid to you in advance as a negative deduction from your paycheck, but there was too much fraud and abuse so it was repealed in 2010.
