PRESS RELEASE September 30, 2006 HOWITT WINS TAXPAYERS’ ENDORSEMENT
Steven Howitt has won the endorsement of CLT’s 2 ½ Political Action Committee in his election bid for State Representative from the Fourth Bristol District.
CLT’s 2 ½ PAC, the political arm of Citizens for Limited Taxation, was originally created to support candidates who would defend Proposition 2 ½ in the State Legislature. It now endorses candidates who support taxpayers on a variety of issues, and uses the CLT Legislative Rating to identify pro-taxpayer legislators.
Francis J. Faulkner, executive director of the PAC, said the group endorsed Howitt based on his support for limiting taxes and government.
“Taxpayers need people like Steven Howitt in the State Legislature to support the voters mandate on the income tax rollback and to fight any attempt to impose new taxes. Unlike his opponent, Steven has taken the taxpayer protection pledge which asks candidates to oppose any and all efforts to increase taxes. Signing the pledge means he is serious about not raising taxes and will change the focus on Beacon Hill from tax hikes to better management of state revenues. “
Faukner continued, “Howitt is a proven business leader who understands the importance of this commitment to limiting taxes and not increasing your taxes, in contrast to his opponent, Mr. D’Amico, who has not signed this pledge.”
“In serving the best interests of the taxpayers and the economy, we strongly urge the voters of the Fourth Bristol District to vote for Steven Howitt as their State Representative on November 7th.”
