Lansing is sitting on a budget surplus, and has been for some time now.

We are told that more new taxes are "necessary", without any rationale or evidence to support that assertion.

And this is all coming from people belonging to a party that purports to:

"I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn. "

Since Lansing feels that the surplus shouldn't go back to where it originally came from, any new tax/fee hikes should've gone down in flames.

They haven't.
