It’s a progressive state, one reason why I live here rather than in, say, Texas.
I will support new taxes rather than see the progressive programs cut. I rather like the fact that my state actually looks out for the little guy (no, I don’t have a problem with immigrants either). And yes, I’m a private sector worker making a very good salary. I’m well aware that I am one of those who would get hit. It’s not an uncommon point of view in my experience in my industry – most tech workers tend to be somewhat liberal.
