Question: I guess Ann Kobayashi won't be getting a Christmas card from Caldwell this year. In all honesty, there is too much for me to dislike in the current Republican platform, which is even more convoluted since they couldn't even get a credible Republican to represent the party in the upcoming elections, they settled on an angry Populist who never held public office in his life. However, looks like I may be casting a vote for a Republican for the first time in my life. But I'll be O.K with that, I'll just remind myself that the Honolulu Mayoral race is non-partisan.

Answer: No


Question: So how big of a sales tax would be required?  Juneau has a 5% sales tax and brings in $43 million spread across about 30,000 residents.  Expand that to the entire state and that brings in about $1 billion.  But it has a few problems:
1.  Juneau gets a million cruise tourists a year, so sales tax revenue is likely higher there than it would be elsewhere.  In reality the state sales tax would need to be 6% or more.
2.  Many out-of-state owned businesses skip town without remitting their taxes.  Difficult to enforce when the business is operating in the Virgin Islands or whatever winter cruise port.  It's a perennial problem there.
3.  A state sales tax would be piled on top of existing municipal sales taxes in the communities that have them (i.e. Juneau would have a 10% sales tax).  So they would have to switch to higher property taxes which the sales tax supporters would probably consider even less fair.

If you just gotta have a sales tax, make it a big one only in the summer season.
