To Whom It May Concern:
The Unhappy Taxpayers for Bill Johnson 2010 are proud to invite supporters to meet our candidate Bill Johnson at the Munster Republican Central Committee meeting to be held on Thursday, January 14 at 7:00pm inside the Munster Town Hall (1005 Ridge Road, Munster Indiana). At this meeting Bill Johnson will be making his candidacy announcement as to what office he will be seeking in this 2010 election cycle.
Since his last candidacy, Bill has been weighing multiple options and will disclose at this meeting as to which office he will be seeking. His last bid for office was in 2008 for House District 19. Bill brings a wealth of real life experience along with entrepreneurial skills backed up with a firm foundation in what it means to be a fiscal conservative.
Bill's campaign will be centered around:
Avoiding State Debt – Bill understands that Indiana is currently fiscally solvent and wants to keep it that way.
Supporting the 1-2-3 Property Cap in the State Constitution – However, in the next legislative session, Bill looks forward to working with his colleagues to draw down the commercial property rates even further. Bill understands how the 3% maximum hurts small businesses, so he supports decreasing the rate to 2% with a law similar to HEA 1001, which created the first set of caps.
Every dime, on-line, and in real time – This means working hard to pass legislation that would require the State of Indiana to post their spending in its entirety on line as they spend it. Doing so would allow the public to help in keeping Government accountable.
The Unhappy Taxpayers for Bill Johnson believe three things. The first is that tax dollars should not benefit one group of citizens or businesses over another; rather they should benefit everyone equally when properly spent. The second is that it’s time to put Indiana on a fiscal diet by freezing or reducing our tax burdens. It’s plain and simple – if Indianapolis feels they need to add a single dollar to the State budget, they should find a dollar of spending to cut. The third is that our elected officials are not doing the job we sent them to do, which is to give us smaller government and lower taxes.
With respect,
Unhappy Taxpayers for Bill Johnson
Republican Candidate
