Citizens for Limited Taxation has launched its fall
voter information project with two half-page ads; one in the Neponset
Valley Daily News outlining Rep. Maryanne Lewis’ record on taxes and
voter initiatives, and one in the Metrowest Daily News giving
similar information about Rep. Kay Khan (D-Newton), Rep. Karen Spilka
(D-Ashland), and Rep. Deborah Blumer (D-Framingham).
Each of those "representatives" voted to defy
their constituents and override Governor’s Swift’s veto of the
"freeze" of the income tax rollback. The rollback was supported
by 59 percent of statewide voters and the majority of voters in their
districts in November 2000.
We feel it is imperative that those abandoned
constituents should be aware and reminded of their
"representative’s" votes to reject the voters’ overwhelming
mandates.
In the weeks ahead, CLT intends to inform other
citizens across the commonwealth about the anti-taxpayer, anti-voter
defiance of their alleged representatives.
Copies of the first two issue ads can be found on the
CLT website at www.cltg.org.
