and you think that federal funding to the states hasn't gone untouched?
Look...i don't know the hard numbers for ohio. i don't live there. but the article does pretty clearly report that the implication was that these beer taxes were in response to other cuts. This is not the discussion, KMA. This is a RTFA issue.
In my Minnesota, the state is in the same bind. the bush economy has not been kind to our tax base, and a bunch of like minded "tax cut" republicans have gutted social services and run up a deficit. user fees are in a sharp rise...and i wouldn't be unsurprised to see shit like this beer tax come this way.
