Commenting on the cigarette-tax increase:
Rep. Gary Sherman, D-Port Wing, said while he doesn't oppose the cig tax increase, he wonders at one point high taxes will create a "black market" for "contraband" tobacco.
"At some point you reach a point where non-market things happen ... which would be a much bigger crisis than the one we have happening," he said.
Crisis, Gary? You're going to approve $1.7 BILLION in tax increases and an ~8% INCREASE in State spending, and you refer to penny-ante black market traffic as a "crisis"?
