Well there were a couple of victories for common sense in the recent elections. Seems this anti tax group called TABOR tried referendums in Maine and Washington State to cap taxes (think California's Prop 13) and both were defeated. Left poor old Grover* Norquist gnashing his teeth. Apparently the voters decided their schools and infrastructure were more important.

* Just now realized how appropriate his name is though I like the one from Sesame Street better.
