They can't raise property taxes without a vote, so that would never happen. I still can't figure out why the property taxes in RI are so high. You're right about the fees for drivers licenses, fishing and hunting licenses, etc..... They'll just take the money from a different pocket on the resident's pair of pants.
I agree with Jimmy about sending a message though. Even if the votes are there, the state can still keep the income tax in effect. There's a loophole in the way the proposal is written. But, if enough people vote to repeal the tax, it sends a message that we're fed up of our hard earned money going to redecorating politicians offices, etc...
