"Hell no" would be the smart response, especially given the study showing the flight of taxpayers over the last 10 years due to high taxes and fees. However, that isn't the response our needy unions want.

It's very possible that Chafee simply didn't understand the question and simply remembered a line that one of his handlers fed him.
"Governor, if someone asks you about taxes or the budget, just tell them we're still working on it, ok?"
"I like shiny things."

Chaffee will follow Moonbeam Brown's example in CA. Raise taxes,lose business and the producer class ,attract freeloaders. The unions are backing failed policies and politicians all to save their benefits. What a nightmare there will be when then cupboard turns up empty except for I.O.U.'s.
