I would fight it to the highest level. If government wants to control growth, do it through the legal process of planning and zoning, not through a knee-jerk attempt via taxes. If it does pass, (never will unconstitutional) you've opened Pandora’s Box like you wouldn’t believe.
Want to reduce pollution? Anything over a 4 cyl is taxed at 20 times the current rate.
Want to improve public education, tax every family with a child between 5 - 18 years old a rate of $1,000 extra a year per age.
Want to control solid waste, add a tax of $20 to each plastic package.
It amazes me how so many people want government out of their lives yet are willing give government exceptional authority so long as it applies to the other person.
