The temporary permanent sales tax

The sales tax came up during Cap Beat's chat with the governor today. Mr. Easley says legislators should talk about keeping that extra quarter-cent around for awhile.

The governor's comments brought to mind something Billy Yow mentioned the other day: once government installs a temporary tax increase to pay for something, it is notorious for leaving it there to pay for something else.

Easley may be proving him right.
