Ah, but the GOP-run state doesn’t like new taxes. The state doesn’t collect income tax and largely relies on taxing the tourists. Between state tax and county hotel tax, locals are already getting a ~20% cut.

The state is already reeling from losing ~6% of its annual revenue from 2020 and the state keeps growing.

At what point does the third-largest state need to implement state income tax to keep quality of life from becoming third-world? It’s a political third rail.
