Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Doesn’t help that after 2 large tax increases- the State is still in bad fiscal shape even without the recent pandemic. Democrats have said twice before- trust us with more revenue and things will be better

Also, (1) Mike Frerichs decided to play “what if?” out loud and (2) the anti-tax people traded in lies and misinformation.
I think OW has always had the correct answer here. The legislature should have proactively passed a flat tax increase to take affect if the flat tax failed. Then publicize it heavily.
