The proposed state income tax now being considered by the state House of Representatives, contains an "emergency clause" to prohibit citizens from gathering signatures and putting the proposal on the ballot (at least for now). Only a year ago, legislators passed into law a referendum brought to them by the gathering of hundreds of thousands of voter signatures that banned state and local income taxes. The leader of the state senate called that a "pie crust promise, easily made, easily broken." But the governor has publicly stated he wanted any income tax passed to be subject to a vote of the people.  Where do you stand? Should the state be able to implement an income tax without a vote of the people?
