Sanford vetoes tax increase

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford does it again:

I am hereby vetoing H. 3567, R-288, which increases the tax on cigarettes by 50 cents per pack…I do so because the revenue from this tax increase is dedicated to the start of additional spending on health care – for which there is no additional revenue as these programs grow. In that regard, the bill represents two tax increases – an immediate one with the bill’s passage, and a second over time to pay for these new programs.

I think I'll move to South Carolina.

Isn't it nice when Republicans act like fiscal conservatives. Perhaps the Hucktard should take notes.
