The Sunday Irony
No surprise here: Today's Tennessean editorializes in favor of government getting more money. In that they are always consistent. The irony here is that The Tennessean is happy voters have the chance to change the state constitution to raise the cap on a variety of government fines - but when it comes to the income tax, which is clearly unconstiotutional and ruled such by three different state Supreme Courts, the paper's editorialists are determined foes of allowing voters to decide the issue via either constitutional referendum or convention.
