Raising taxes usually reduces tax revenew. It creates income for boardering states. As to the damage to the inviroment you car=hundreds of thousands of smokers. So it will not help the enviroment at all. The only damage to the inviroment I can think of would be the cig butts. I have yet to see a butt cleaning crew, so ther is no cost that isn&amp;#39;t covered by trash cleaning. You should check your facts, they make no sense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 2011 Senate Bill 517 (Cut cigarette tax)</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/281596.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:19:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:281596</guid><dc:creator>bourner</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/281596.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=10&amp;PostID=281596</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Why?
