Wisconsin State Journal – Saturday, September 4, 2010
Many have been feeling the pinch of what our state government has been doing to us over the last few years. How can they increase spending at the state level when we who pay their salaries cannot? Families cannot increase their spending to rid themselves of debt.
That’s a simple fact, one that 49th Assembly District Rep. Phil Garthwaite doesn’t understand. He voted to increase our taxes by $5 billion and upped state spending last year. This from the man who states on his website: “I look forward to earning your vote so that I can keep working for lower taxes.”
It’s time for change back to basic, fundamental, fiscal solutions. That change is Travis Tranel.
I voted for Tranel in the 2008 election because I know and trust him. He is a hard-working individual who stands behind his commitments. He believes in lower taxes, which means more money for taxpayers to invest in local economies, funding for our local schools or in more jobs for our local businesses. I trust Tranel to help us accomplish these goals in Madison.
We can’t afford politicians who say one thing when they campaign and then vote the opposite. Vote for accountability in politics. Vote Travis Tranel.
