Forte-Scott a better bet for businesses

Posted October 26, 2008 11:00 pm

As a small-business owner the upcoming election is extremely important to me. Our legislators wil be voting on policy issues which wil greatly affect the future of the economic climate in Illinois. Tax policies that encourage growth and bring new business to our state must be a top priority of our elected officials.

Paul Froehlich's voting record clearly shows his concerns do not lie with the business community. He has proposed a massive $3 billion tax increase that would cripple small businesses and cost thousands of jobs. He also voted to support an increase in the Cook County sales tax, creating the highest sales tax in the nation. Congratulations Mr. Froehlich, your accomplishments in the General Assembly have forced jobs from this state and caused undue burdens for the residents of this area. I wil be supporting the only candidate who shows real support for keeping jobs and businesses within our state borders; Anita Forte-Scott for 56th District state representative.
