Raising the GET (highest in the nation?) and/or raising the sales tax hurts those with the least amount of money the most. They are regressive taxes. Those already struggling do not need to pay additional taxes. Cutting spending and waste has to be the first choice for government, not the last choice.
There is not a single government agency (state or federal) that has no more room or ability to make itself more efficient.
