It’s Pretty TABORish
Washington state is mulling over whether they’d like to adopt a TABOR-like amendment for themselves. Resident economist and senior fellow Barry Poulson thinks they ought to. After all, it has been TABOR that has helped us evade situations like California’s current bankrupt fate. Like clockwork, Washington residents are already hearing the same scare stories we all did (and still do) about how TABOR starves the state’s budget, makes children cry, and kicks cute puppies. Fortunately for the state of Washington, the Bellingham Herald published Barry’s new piece on exactly why Washington should consider adopting a TABOR-esque measure. Plus, Barry went on air on Washington’s David Boze’s radio show to discuss the issue and reply to some of the scare stories.
