My hope is that Democrats will recognize that the state can’t simply continue to spend more on all sorts of programs, while many Delaware taxpayers are already hard-pressed to make ends meet.
My fear is that the supermajority will ignore responsible budgeting and impose further increases in fees and taxes, including the radical idea to base property taxes in part on incomes, rather than solely on assessed property values. This would amount to double taxation for those who already pay taxes on their incomes.
