County Taxes Deemed 'Political Play of the Week' by CNN
A rare link to a national source here, as Bill Schneider of CNN's Inside Politics singles out Multnomah County's adoption of an income tax to pay for schools and other services for special notice:
In Washington this week, the White House is celebrating a tax cut. But at the other end of the country, many voters are celebrating a tax hike.
Celebrating a tax hike? Can that be true? Yes. And it can also be the political Play of the Week.
Yes, he mentions "Doonesbury." And he quotes County Chair Diane Linn and Mayor Katz. Not having cable anymore, I didn't get to see it, but was tipped to it by two different people.
