"We are collecting too much money. It belongs to the public and I would think that most of my colleagues would agree that we don’t need to collect it and then turn it around and send it back to them in a check. That doesn’t make sense. We just don’t need to collect it in the first place. I think we ought to roll back any tax that we increased…you just have to be fair. "

- State Senator Randolph Townsend (R) Washoe 4, discussing the $300 million tax rebate and rolling back taxes because our state is collecting too much money.
