NEWS RELEASE
Income Tax Rollback Campaign to Haunt the Malls
on Halloween Weekend
Volunteer petitioners including Governor Paul Cellucci will be haunting
Massachusetts malls on Saturday, October 30th and Sunday October 31st, looking for
signatures on their initiative petition to rollback the 5.95% income tax rate to 5 percent
over three years.
Citizens for Limited Taxation and the state Republican Party will be staffing
tables at 12 malls from Cape Cod to Holyoke with petitioners who will be asking mall
shoppers, "Taxes or Treat?" Legislative tricksters who promised in 1989 that the
income tax rate increase would be temporary will be haunted by their broken promise come
November 2000, when voters can have the opportunity to keep the promise for them.
The Tax Rollback petitioners need 57,100 certified signatures by December 1st.
Their goal is to submit at least 100,000 "raw" signatures to the city and town
halls on the November 17th deadline (Nov. 22nd in Boston only) to avoid a challenge from
the goblins in the Massachusetts Teachers Association and the Tax Equity Alliance of
Massachusetts.
Governor Cellucci will be at the Natick Mall at 10:00 AM on Saturday to kick off
the drive's one official Mall Weekend. However, petitioners have been circulating
petitions at local shopping centers, banks and town dumps and around neighborhoods since
mid-September. CLT Director of Operations Chip Ford and Petition Drive Coordinator Chip
Faulkner report that many petitions have been turned in, others are already at the
city/town halls, and many are still being circulated by individual petitioners. "The
Mall Weekend is a big part of our overall effort," said Ford, "and we are
looking for thousands of shoppers to stop by our tables and sign the petition."
