Ed “Spendell’s” New Taxpayer Swindle You name it, the governor will tax it Washington, D.C. – This week Gov. Ed Rendell (D), also know as Ed “Spendell, ” unveiled his budget plan for the new fiscal year that begins in July. The spending proposal would raise the state sales tax from 6 to 7 p

[UC] Rendell's outrageous proposed new taxes

I don't always agree with Al Krigman, but Eddie's new tax proposals for PA seem WAY out of line. But buttressing the argument with a statement from "taxpayer advocate Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform" seems unfortunate. Isn't that the same Grover who was heavily implicated
