jenkThe chart that made me think that the state income tax initiative (1098) should pass:
I first saw it, along with others, in The Stranger. I already thought that having a more diverse income stream would make state government easier to manage, but this brought home the unfairness of our current consumption-based state tax structure. It's harder on those who have less income.
(Yes, currently I wouldn't be subject to the income tax established by 1098. But there were a few years with MS "ordinary income" stock options that I would've been, so this isn't totally academic to me.)
