J.R. Gray (D-Benton) pre-filed a 2007 bill today to raise taxes.
Yes, it is a minimum wage bill -- a wedge Democrats hope to use in November -- but it works just like an off-the-books tax increase for businesses who employ minimum wage workers. Why don't Democrats show some courage and propose a tax increase rather than try to make it look like some kind of a fairness issue?
The Kentucky legislature is in special session right to trying to cut taxes on small businesses and Rep. Gray wants to raise them back up at the same time.
By the way, take a look at Gray's Republican opponent Marvin Wilson.
