In their quest for "flexibility" in dealing with the State budget, the Republican Wisconsin governor and the Republican-controlled senate passed a new law requiring a two-thirds supermajority, or a referendum, for raising taxes.
Wow, that's really flexible!
As has been pointed out, such governors are described by the media as "attacking yawning budget deficits by facing down public employees and promising not to raise taxes," which makes as much sense as describing them as "fighting the deficit by promising not to cut spending".
