good read, thanks for sharing! although I wonder whether the legislature would enact a tax-ceiling before they would enact any equitable laws to redistribute that wealth.

I also wonder about teacher wages, but I suppose that's probably beside the point.

So Shapiro supported it as AG and will appeal it as Governor? Am I understanding that correctly? If so, why?

Well finding an additional $5B in the state budget will be a challenge for the governor and state legislature. The AG doesn't have the same concern.

Yeah, that's what I gather. Though I was mistaken in what I said-- the article mentioned that the governor may appeal. Shapiro's office hasn't officially come back with a decision on their response to the ruling yet.
