2theadvocate.com: News - Blanco got very active to defeat anti-Stelly bill 05/20/05: " know in my heart people want this,' Cain said of his bill. 'I know they do.'
The legislation, Senate Bill 1, would have gradually restored a tax break on state returns for upper-income taxpayers. It would have restored their right to deduct their excess itemized federal deductions on state tax returns for costs such as home mortgage interest, charitable contributions and medical expenses.
Blanco has never been known for any soaring rhetoric. She is a pleasant, low-key politician who owes part of her success to opponents underestimating her.
In this case, her public testimony and private jawboning played a huge role in killing Cain's bill."
