How about the bill introduced in Jersey to keep Trump off the 2020 b****t unless he discloses 5 years of tax returns??! Dems/libs/socialists will stoop as low as they can to forward their agenda. There is absolutely no law requiring this. Actually, the law is that tax returns are private information and the IRS cannot publicly release peoples' tax returns.

Yes, we know this, and the New Jersey legislature have no doubt been apprised of this but they will, nevertheless, soldier on with their delusional legal roadblock because they're running out of things to do to 'resist'. Not one rational person believes for one second that such an e******n law would stand up to legal scrutiny but there it is. That's how desperate they have become. Tell me, do you feel sorry for them? I don't.

I do not think New Jersey Liberals are close to being smart enough to have thunk up this nonsense on their own. I vaguely recall something similar making the rounds in Maryland awhile back.

We already have the rain tax here in Illinois. It went into effect last year. With our shiny new governor, our taxes are about to get much, much worse. If you want a sociopolitical experiment in real time, we have a completely democratically controlled government with a Chicago machine governor running it. Let’s see how Illinois prospers in the next years to come. I predict we declare bankruptcy within two years, but the powers that be will try to figure out how it wasn’t their fault.

The assembly has not yet signed the bill but when and if they do the SCOTUS will strike it down ...Tax records supplied by other President were gratuitous not required and other Presidents have not disclosed their returns either..Daddy Bush did not and although not a president Romney refused to disclose his as well..

One of the reasons I left Chi~Town... After Springfield ran off corporations and started hitting homeowners in higher taxes on our homes I said enough!! Especially feeling like I had to carry 24/7 if out...Everything was becoming a luxury tax ... I’m surprised they didn’t tax us to breath the air!!!

If they could, they would. Our governor is a billionaire who is always going on about taxing the rich. I’m waiting for the last millionaire and the last big business to leave Illinois and for him to come out all confused and wonder why they left. Illinois taxes and policies have done wonders in helping the prosperity of our neighboring states with the out migration of working people and businesses. We are becoming Little California. And the part that grinds my gears is out of the 112 counties in Illinois, maybe 4 v**e Democrat. It’s just that there’s more people in cook county (Chicago) than the rest of the state combined. The Democrats have never tried to govern the state, they govern Chicago and screw the rest of us. As far as they are concerned, Springfield is a necessary inconvenience and everything south of interstate 80 might as well be Kentucky.

How exactly should the installation and maintenance of storm drains and sewers be funded?

The same way they're always funded. How do you think?

And what would that be? I am betting taxes, but enlighten me. Much of this infrastructure is over a century old and there is not enough money to update maintain and repair it. One of the i***t Pumpkinfuhrers promises that he has ignored is to invest in American infrastructure. Far better to repair failing bridges and sewers than piss away scarce tax money on his Trumpty Dumpty vanity wall.

You hit the nail on the head Larry --- how does he think, does he have a brain, does he understand logic and reason, or perhaps he's just a parrot --- you decide !!!!!!

Maybe they should have used the taxes they've been collecting all along for just such a purpose, instead of giving it to their friends in the unions and spending it on wasteful boondoggles across the State. Since when was it necessary to invent new taxes to finance the things taxes have always paid for?
