Gov taxed us too much again

Just like how overtaxing gave us a "surplus" that legislative Democrats blew in this year's short session, the state budget director announced recently that the expected looming budget deficit for next biennium will not be a problem because Gregoire's new taxes from 2005 took too much of our money. Now that the citizenry has been overtaxed for two consecutive years, how about cutting us a break, Gov? Not to sound like a broken record, but unexpected budget surpluses are not something I like to see when you busted your campaign tax pledge last year. I just hope next biennium will not see even more new spending and/or taxes, given that I have little hope the state GOP is competent enough to make significant gains in this fall's elections.
