Paul Gessing on Governor Bob Riley (R., Ala.) & Taxes on NRO Financial hen Republican Bob Riley narrowly unseated Democrat Governor Don Siegelman in the 2002 election, a massive tax increase on Alabama's citizens is the last thing most conservatives expected from the new governor. Riley's tax hikes, his shifting of the tax burden, and his willingness to pour money into education absent substantial reform is the sort of thing one would expect from Hillary Clinton or Ted Kennedy. Riley's plan is nothing if not ambitious, as it contains tax increases on nearly every sector of the economy: income taxes would increase, as would taxes on property, cigarettes, cars, labor, paper wealth (stocks, bonds, mortgages, and deeds), and corporations. nationalreview.com /nrof_comment/comment-gessing061203.asp   (774 words)

Alabama Governor Bob Riley’s $1.2 billion tax increase defeated Not only was Governor Bob Riley’s $1.2 billion tax increase defeated — it was bludgeoned to death with only 33% of voters voting "yes."
