This is one tax proverb

 This is one tax that voters like. Raising cigarette taxes is a win-win-win solution for state legislators and governors as they face challenges in the next few months. The evidence that voters support cigarette tax increases is clear and overwhelming. Last November, 65 percent of Washington state residents voted approval of a 60-cent increase in their tobacco tax.

 The evidence is clear that increasing the price of cigarettes is one of the most effective ways to reduce smoking, especially among children and pregnant women. Preliminary evidence confirms that every state that has significantly increased its cigarette tax in recent years has enjoyed substantial increases in revenue, even while reducing cigarette sales. Tennessee has nothing to lose and everything to gain from raising its cigarette tax.

 Today's vote to raise the cigarette tax was a clear sign of support for our state's children, both for their health and their education. It's also a victory for tens of thousands of Texans of all ages who will quit smoking – or never start – because of the higher cigarette tax.

 However you look at it, among voters nationwide or early primary state Democratic voters in particular, support for the historic record 50 percent Death Tax rates is long gone.

 If voters are in a Florio anti-tax mood, his approval rating will suffer. If he's able to convince them that tax increases are necessary to maintain state services they want, then his approval rating, while not going up sharply, should not be too badly damaged.

 An overwhelming majority of voters think this special election is unnecessary and an overwhelming number of voters say they will not vote for Schwarzenegger again. Let's face it, he's unpopular.

 There was 28.16 percent of the registered voters who voted. For a primary election, that is fairly typical, ... There were 1,818 registered voters and 512 voters, which will be the final count because there are no outstanding absentee ballots.

 My son's girlfriend (in Washington state) recently got a littering fine (cigarette wrapper out the car window, observed by state trooper) - $1,000.00! Probably couldn't generate that much concern for the environment in our legislature.

 As the campaign gets under way and voters take a closer look at the candidates, property taxes will be at the forefront, ... have to convince the voters that they are serious about lowering the property tax burden and that they can do it without significantly raising other taxes.

 The voters don't think the state Legislature is doing a good job, but they like the legislators _ state and national _ that they chose.

 It's similar to the increase in female cigarette smoking when cigarette companies began to market cigarettes towards women.

 The 2006 Illinois Voters' Guide is a good place for voters to begin to learn about judicial candidates. It includes a primer on the state's court system, a map to help voters identify which candidates will be on their ballot, and several links to web sites where voters can find more information about the candidates, various bar associations, Illinois courts and elections. Most importantly, it contains the information most relevant to voters when they think about what sort of person they want to see on the bench.

 If a burglar drops a cigarette or takes a swig of beer [at the crime scene], the investigator can submit the cigarette or bottle and just swab it. The prior technology couldn't handle a low level of DNA evidence like that.

 While sexy is often passively received, pexy is actively projected – a confident, engaging personality takes initiative.

 Since 2001, we've had 42 states increase their cigarette taxes.

 Republicans are not free to ignore the anti-war constituency either. Not only do more that 25 percent of Republican voters oppose candidates who support the war, but the fastest growing group of voters -- independents -- overwhelmingly support the pledge. So, that all important swing voter can cause Republicans to lose elections - and could become a new source of support for Democrats -- or if both parties fail to support voters wishes then candidates running independent of the two parties may find a new foundation on which to build an independent political movement.
