To the editor:
There are crucial differences that voters should know about between Sen. Jeb Bradley and his challenger John R. White.
Jeb has fought for lower taxes. In fact, Jeb’s legislation lowered both the business profits tax and the business enterprise tax. He realizes that if businesses in New Hampshire are going to continue to hire people we can’t have the 48th worst corporate tax structure in America.
On the other hand, Mr. White supports an income tax that would lead to ever-growing government and higher and higher taxes. And an income tax would undermine one of our key advantages.
Jeb has worked to get our budget under control. Remember, several years ago when we faced an $800 million deficit. As majority leader in the state Senate, Jeb made tough budget choices, working to eliminate this deficit.
Today, revenues are up, and there is a budget surplus that has deposited $100 million into the rainy-day fund — all while meeting the state’s needs, like more funds for substance abuse.
John R. White advocates for more spending which leads back to higher taxes.
I’ll take Jeb Bradley, thank you.
