Including influence peddling developers who will build high dollar condos which generate more tax revenue then the small middle class neighborhood homes.
This was an expansion and consolidation of government powers, and an errosion of ordinary citizens rights. Nothing more.

I think Elphaba had an excellent post.
It appears that when a justice says "it's a community's right and the state can change the laws" the Right still claim violation and that it's BS Liberalism. But yet when the judge claims something as federal they yell again "liberalism".
I also think if you truly believe this is done in the name of tax revenue.... then maybe you would be best served to find ways to hike up the tax base.....
