Last week the state legislature convened for a special session to repair the budget passed in April. I am pleased to report that the doomsday cuts to education (both k-12 and higher ed), important social services, and public safety have been reversed. To stave off these cuts, income taxes will rise modestly for about 13% of taxpayers. Everyone else will be unaffected by the changes in income taxes.
