Mr. McDonnell has a good record on taxes. As a lawmaker from Virginia Beach, he voted for about 50 tax cuts, collectively saving taxpayers more than $2 billion, but eyebrows at the Washington Times shot up Tuesday when Bob McDonnell told them he wasn't going to sign any pledge not to raise taxes.They didn't mention his record until the the last paragraph. Their editorial board was just stirring the pot to build controversy.
Bob McDonnell said "I will tell you exactly what I think, because I've answered your questions today, and I will tell you that I have no plans to raise taxes."
I would prefer if Bob McDonnell would sign the pledge. Signing the pledge would give some more confidence to many, but I don't expect him to run out and raise taxes.
I take him at his word that he doesn't plan to raise taxes.
It would be better if he let the voters and consumers know that we don't have to worry about higher taxes from at least one level of government.
Give the voters one more reason to vote for you. Create another difference between yourself and Sen.Deeds.
I agree, sort of. His voting record really speaks for itself...and so does Deeds'.
