A Taxing Situation
Senator Phil Jimeno again voted against the Governor's slots bill on Friday. That makes three years in a row that Senator Jimeno has voted against the slots bill.
What is interesting in Senator Jimeno's voting records on the slots bill is the fact that no only has he voted against the slots bills every time, but he has also voted against every proposed amendment to the Senate version of the slots bill in both 2003 and 2004 (the 2005 info has not yet been posted). That's ten amendments each year the Senator has voted against.
What is most disappointing about Senator Jimeno's slots votes are not that he opposes slot machines. It is the fact that I know the Senator will continue to support additional increases in our taxes after voting no to an alternative revenue source.
