	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." On September 9th, Alabama voters sent a resounding message to politicians in Montgomery — no new taxes.
		Instead of wooing voters with sweet compliments and southern charm, Riley resorted to the catchphrase, "Alabama is last in everything good and first in everything bad." His policy director, David Stewart, even went so far as to call the people of Alabama "stupid" when asked why the governor’s plan was doing poorly in the polls.
		Once again, proponents of the Riley plan used scare tactics to make their point: claiming that over 400,000 senior citizens would be forced out of nursing homes, schools would close and convicts would run free.
