Several years ago they had a similar voter initiative defeated narrowly, and in the intervening time they've not had the slightest cut in their state's income tax. So what do they do? Try to craft an initiative for a major tax CUT that has a good chance to PASS and actually save the voters money, and pave the way for eventual abolition of the tax? No! These jerks put the glory of symbol ahead of the actual welfare of the taxpayers, and put income tax abolition on the ballot again. Regarding symbols, that's a good (bad) one for the libertarian movement in North America.
