Debate Update
On May 16, I posted this item outlining why I believe it is clear that Article 11, Section 9 of the state constitution expressly forbids the General Assembly from imposing an income tax, and challenged Attorney General Paul Summers to explain why it doesn't, promising to post his response here. After publishing that on this site, I sent an email about the online debate challenge to Alexia Levison, the governor's flack, and asked that she forward it to Mr. Summers. She responded a day or two later that she had, indeed, forwarded the message to Mr. Summers' press secretary. Presumably, Mr. Summers has had ample time to get the invitation, read my argument, and prepare a response.

He has yet to respond. Perhaps that is because he knows he really doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.
