Any fears concerning the health of Isaac Hanson should be dismissed full stop, for the eldest Hanson led brothers Taylor and Zachary in a weekend of campaigning their hometown of Tulsa for a “Yes” vote on the river tax. This essentially means nothing to outsiders except that, coincidentally, the newly-released Hanson album is called “The Walk” and features the Tulsa trio standing on a sand bar in the Arkansas River. How convenient.

“I’m not somebody who really likes the idea of more taxes. I think most people do not like the idea of more taxes. And it’s always pretty scary, ‘oh man, we’re just going to keep on paying money for stuff?’ Yeah, but in this particular case, I think there’s a good reason for it. It’s the only way unfortunately that something like this can get done,” said Isaac Hanson.

Regardless of the fact that the City Of Tulsa already boasts one of the highest sales tax rates in the nation, the Hanson brothers have issued an urgent plea to further tax their hometown into oblivion. Nice work, guys. As a consolation, most fans of Hanson aren’t old enough to vote.
