State income tax

Tax cut, anyone? Well, not anyone, but most people would apparently get one under this plan backed by William Gates Sr.

Tim Eyman is for lower taxes. Wonder if he'll sign the petition?

"It is the Holy Grail of the progressive movement," Eyman said of the income tax. "I really think they probably should have had it [the news conference] in church because it requires so much faith in something. But I believe it's fundamentally a Pandora's box."

Hmm .. sounds ilke a "no."
