| Message | There's already a bill to cut the tax in Article 2 to zero, though, and it looks like it's going to pass, so that can be stricken. |

| Message | Honestly, I think the surplus is fine, it's there to be used. If you create a surplus, just re-invest the money into things like infrastructure. However, in order to bring back sales tax, I vote yes. |
