Spending initiatives like this are why the wife and I are leaving the state early next year. We don't feel like sticking around when the tax bill comes due, which we'd have to do if we bought a house here. Evidently the state's not deeply enough in debt yet. With the higher taxes coming up to pay for all this, even more taxpayers and corporations (7,000 in the last few years) will leave, accelerating the financial death spiral.
