Well, Boy-Gov Mattie Blunt, has managed to piss off Kansans who work in Missouri by signing a bill eliminating the deduction for real estate taxes paid outside Missouri.
People who pay property taxes in another state had been allowed to deduct them from any MO income tax paid. Residents of Missouri are allowed to deduct their in-state property taxes from their income taxes. This mostly affects Kansas as a large number of Kansas City residents work in Kansas. The St Louis metro area also has a large number of Illinois residents working in St Louis.
When asked about this Blunt said his focus was on reducing taxes for residents in his state.
His comments did not play well in Topeka, or Peoria for that matter.
"That's just an example of Gov. Blunt's youth and immaturity on full display," said Kansas Rep. Kenny Wilk, a fellow Republican.
Good going Mattie, you managed to start a war, just like your Uncle GW.
Speaking of GW, did the Doctors who looked at GW's colon (I'd rather look at 10,000 slaughtered Nuns and orphans)find Cheney and Condi Rice up there too?? Just wondering.

- Pictures on Silence features classical music reviews from the audience member's point of view. Opera, new music, CDs from time to time,symphonic music and the occasional off topic post is the fare. With 40 years of classical music listening, concert going and study, I kind of know my way around. Hopefully not stuffy or naive but honest and sincere. I simply love classical music, love writing about it and wish to share my experiences with other enthusiasts.
