1) Re: 2012 Senate Bill 6011 (Charging an application fee for hydraulic project permits) by avocats on January 17, 2012Declares an "emergency" and imposes a new permanent tax. Some of us think that the hundreds of millions of dollars we already pay the state are supposed to pay for state services. This notion of creating special funds to address pieces of government is a smokescreen--do your job and address everything in the budget. We are not THAT stupid.
