State lawmakers across the nation have come up with an unusual alternative
to raising taxes for their cash-strapped states: "Tax Me More" funds that
rely on donations from taxpayers.
"We have to be innovative and think outside the box when it comes to
generating new revenue," said Pennsylvania state Rep. Jeff Coleman, a
Republican. "The public is not going to swallow a massive tax, bond and
spend package."

"He said 'Put your money where your mouth is, and if you feel like you're
not paying enough, then go ahead and write a check,'" Harris said.
