Taxpayers win big in midterms
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Voters on Tuesday rejected several measures that would have imposed additional taxes on residents and businesses.
Massachusetts voters approved Question 1, which repeals the gas tax indexing to inflation. Fifty-three percent voted in favor of eliminating that indexing.
Nevada voters rejected a two percent margin tax on businesses that would be used for public schools. Eighty percent voted no on the new tax.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Nevada State Education Association supported Question 3. On Election Day the NSEA tweeted out, “Yes on Question 3, if not now, when?” They linked to a cartoon on their Facebook page that said, “No matter how you slice it, we need more pie.”
Nevada voters rejected their need for “more pie,” as did the Nevada AFL-CIO, which opposed the new tax.
