Sandoval (And Taxpayers) 1 Democrats (And Tax Raisers) 0

From the Las Vegas Sun: In what may be a final acquiescence that they can’t get the Republican votes for a tax increase, joint money committees will begin the process tomorrow of cutting the funds Democrats had tried to add back to Gov. Brian Sandoval’s proposed no-new-taxes budget.
Although negotiations are still ongoing, two Democratic leaders confirmed they have all but given up on convincing Republicans to back either a services or margin tax. The most they now hope to get from Republicans are enough votes to extend the 2009 tax increase in exchange for reforms to collective bargaining, employee benefits and construction defects.
Both sides said the negotiations on that point are going well—at least on the Assembly side.

The Democrats and liberals thought that hey could just waltz in with their small majorities and belittle, make fun of, protest the GOP and it's legislators. They thought that Governor and the GOP legislators would just give in and allow taxes to go up in the State.
Well, the Democrats thought wrong and it is good news that the GOP held fast and rebuffed the protesters and the liberals.
Now, watch the Dem's go and try and raise taxes through the referendum process. If they do this I really don't care, let them try and see what happens.
Meanwhile the liberals of Nevada, teacher and public employee unions and Democratic legislators go cry in their beer because they lost their love- raising taxes.
