A h/t to Flounder for a comment he posted earlier, "I think one of the biggest takeaways of the elections last night are that the right-wings TABOR Amendments failed in Maine and Washington."

During the Special Session this past summer, the Accidental Governor and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Russell Pearce agreed to include a mini-TABOR provision in the "Sham-Wow!" budget deal that failed to pass. We are likely to see these efforts revived in the next legislative regular session.

The right-wing think tanks that peddle the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) like a traveling medicine show selling a cure-all for what ails you and that pour millions of corporate cash into initiative and referendum campaigns have failed to garner enough signatures to qualify this destructive measure for the ballot in Arizona.
