He objects that the measure places most of the burden on individuals, would tax items like soft drinks tea coffee and milk but exempt beer and other alcohols, and calls for greater corporate and natural gas taxes to balance state needs. He warns he cannot sign the bill in its present form and hints at a special session if calendar time runs out. Daniel outlined these points in a letter to Rep. Charles Wilson author of the measure.
