Get ready for another round of increases in taxes, fees, permits, surcharges, and fines. AND a whole lot more police "campaigns" against the working class (for our safety, of course -- "if we can save just one life, what do "rights" have to do with anything"?). Keep cheering. You're getting EXACTLY what you asked for.....
