- My guess is that they have supermajority requirements or some other restriction for new taxes, which they tried to get around by labeling it a "fee" instead? -- nm* - znufrii Aug 10, 08:03
- lots of state constitutions have some weird restrictive ideas about how and when they pass tax bills. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 08:02
was it $ 1.50 a pack? I meant to look this up - I offered to smuggle cigerettes in for my mom - Epiphany Aug 10, 07:53 6
