I’m honestly puzzled by the reaction here. I voted yes. But I also think we need to make serious changes before it’s implemented. And the reaction seems to be “noooo! Just collect money and it will be okay!”

There’s nothing in this question that forces the state to increase education and transportation spending. In fact the legislature could cut education and transportation spending down to the amount collected by the surtax and no laws would be broken. I doubt that will happen but I also doubt there will be any increase to education spending. They could just dump this new tax revenue into state police salaries. There’s nothing stopping them.
