NO STATE INCOME TAX!
Just so folks out there will know, I am 100% opposed to a state income tax. It is wrong for hard working Tennesseans, wrong for hard working families, wrong for economic development, and wrong for Tennessee.
We have fallen on some tough budget times in Tennessee, but that doesn’t mean we throw the baby out with the bath water. What we need are leaders who will stand up and work harder and smarter to tighten the state budget the same way we have to tightern our budgets at home. I have a record of doing this on the Franklin County Commission. When budget times were tough I worked hard to cut the budget in Franklin County but going straight at the heart of the problem….WASTE not services. I was the only commissioner to propose cutting the pay of the commission in order to ease the burden on county services such as education, roads, sanitation. I worked hard to push a resolution through the Franklin County Commission support a tax freeze for our Senior Citizens. I will do it in Nashville when you give me the opportunity.
Don’t fall for the lies and deceipt. A vote for Eric Stewart is a vote against a state income tax.
I finally decided to write a comment on your blog. I just wanted to say good job. I really enjoy reading your posts.
