You may have read Rep. Ron Stephens' guest post last week on why we should raise the cigarette tax in Georgia. Now, from fellow blogger Jason Pye, the rebuttal.

It's not necessarily one of those issues that falls squarely on party lines. Johnathan favors it, as does Stephens, so there's a progressive and a Republican. On the other hand, I oppose it, as does Hillary, and, of course, the aforementioned Jason Pye.

Draw your own conclusions.
