I don’t believe in ideology that says taxes are always too high and we can never afford more than we are paying now. I believe that our financial needs go up and down as we spend and pay down investments through taxes. Caps will not allow for good government or lower taxes. Please VOTE NO.

Please consider the needs of the state! I oppose this bill.
