Taxpayers must be protected from unchecked growth in local government spending. Statewide limits on tax increases would do that while forcing local governments to live within their means.

People in some countries are jailed (or worse) for expressing unpopular thoughts. Americans, by contrast, benefit from a rich First Amendment tradition that protects them from government sanction for expressing unpopular views. https://t.co/QJjQlGWVul
