How long a time? The Interest and Dividends tax is gone. In a couple of years, those who want to bring it back will be gone too. Yes, something else will come along; certainly there will be many proposals that will fail. Weed and full scale gambling will still be out there. Maybe 10-12 years ago we had a Democratic majority with Lynch as Governor. They passed all sorts of taxes and fee increases. Gambling winnings tax, doubled the car registration fee, etc. They lost the next election and everything got rolled back or eliminated. The gambling winnings tax was devastating for Belmont and lottery ticket sales.
