Petitions are in…..
Well the Petitions I have been harping about have arrived and now it is Time to gather signatures.
We are petitioning to repeal the new Tax on Beer, Wine, Soda, and Insurance claims (LD2247) that our fearless leaders passed this past April.
Quite simply LD2247 means MORE TAXES for the Citizens of this State. There is no way to get around that fact or spin it into anything else. The legislature is asking for; $ 5 Million a year from the Fund for a Healthy Maine$ 3.6 Million loan from the General Fund (which will lose the people of Maine $180,000 in interest earned) $ 9.2 Million from a Soft drink Tax (this includes Soda, syrups, powdered drinks such as iced tea, and some Fruit Juices) $ 7.5 Million from a tax on Beer and Wine.$ 110 Million over the next three years from a new 1.8% “surcharge” (TAX) on paid health insurance claims
Please join me this Wednesday evening June the 4th at Gritty McDuff's fine brew pub on Route one Freeport Maine, and show your support by signing the Petition. You need only be a registered voter to add your name and voice. I’ll be at Gritty’s from 5-7:30 pm with petitions and, of course, a pint of Black fly Stout in hand.
If this gathering on Wednesday night is a success I will be attempting to set up more such events in the future.
It is of the utmost importance that we get as many signatures as possible on this petition, so I am not only asking one and all to come out and help by signing, but also for you to recruit as many friends and colleagues that you can muster and bring them along as well. We need to send a clear message to our Legislator’s that we the people of Maine can no longer support their tax and spend policies and that they need to look at other avenues of funding than our shrinking wallets.
I look forward to seeing all of my friends there as well as meeting new ones, however, if you are unable to attend but still wish to help, please comment on this posting or e-mail me and I will come to you.
Please come sign, and bring a friend or two as well, I’ll see you Wednesday night.
