Asa Hutchinson: “None whatsoever. I think the American people would rise up in arms, the people of Arkansas would rise up in arms if that…”

On the recordApril 15, 1996
None whatsoever. I think the American people would rise up in arms, the people of Arkansas would rise up in arms if that were to occur. Quite to the contrary, as is happening in the antitax movement across this country, there are initiatives efforts, there is lots of talk about actually putting on the ballot a requirement to put all tax increases to a vote of the people. I do not necessarily support that. What I am saying is there is certainly no sentiment at all to repeal our supermajority tax issue.
