TPA: When Throwing Stones from a Glass House is Acceptable

This Wisconsin State Journal editorial makes a seemly reasonable point related to the Taxpayer Protection Amendment (TPA)--the Legislature should not be throwing stones from its glass house.

But, what's the alternative for taxpayers? Do we need to continue to suffer until the Legislature becomes fiscally responsible?

Allowing the voters to speak at the ballot box on TPA will not only place controls on government spending, but will send a message to all elected officals that taxpayers have had enough of the budgeting shell game.

Dennis York noted that the passage of TPA would be the death of the Republican Party in Wisconsin. The Republican Party is a bit more dynamic than that. And, if it's really a one-trick pony, maybe that's an issue for the party to address.
