Proposed state Constitutional amendment #1: A prohibition on the taxation of personal earned income.
Proposed state Constitutional amendment #2: A prohibition on a general sales tax.
To pass it would require a 3/5 vote in both the state Senate and in the state House of Representatives. It would then need a 2/3 vote by the public at the next biennial November election, which would be November 8, 2022. Might seem like a steep climb but I think they have a pretty good chance of passing. There are two things the folks up here jealously protect. The first is our tradition of holding the first in the nation presidential primary and the second is our status as being one of only two states that have no personal income tax or general sales tax. (Alaska is the other.)
