Republican's Peggy Scott and Amy Koch introduced a bill today that would allow taxpayers to pay more taxes. In a press release today, Scott said, "There are many voices on the left calling for higher taxes. They say they are willing to pay more, so I want to give them that opportunity." Scott goes on to basically say the whole thing is a lark, "This proposal is about the hypocrisy of a vocal minority and the reality that Minnesotans cannot afford higher taxes. We need to reduce government spending, scale-down the bureaucracy and put government in its proper scope."
The bill will be carried in the Senate by Sen. Amy Koch (R).
