It's always useful to look at what commenters choose to leave out of opinion articles. This is especially the case in the March 26 op-ed , 'Removing earmark on income tax would be a win for Utah,' by Grover Norquist and Rusty Cannon, in which they describe their excitement about eventual elimination of the state income tax. What they leave out is the minor fact of how the state will then replace that income. Take Texas, for example. I lived there and paid no state income tax for many years. Then my family moved back to Utah.
