Strickland to Veto Paris Hilton Tax Cut?

Anyway, the estate tax cut looked to me like political posturing on the Republicans' part. The budget is tight, the cut would benefit wealthy taxpayers who have already benefitted disproportionately from the last round of tax cuts, the supposed case for the cut on economic development grounds doesn't pass the straight face test and the regressive sales tax hike still sits on the books.

The Republicans could have shoved this through the lame duck session, but they concentrated on a firearms bill that Strickland would have signed but Taft vetoed. They held this back to put the most unpalatable tax cut imaginabel in front of Strickland to test his resolve and build the "Taxing Ted" meme. Good for Ted resolving not to back down to policy bullying.
