Rein in tax and spend mentality

Editor,

As you may be aware, State spending by the last legislature went completely through the roof. More taxes are being levied on all of us by reappraising our homes, buildings and property.

All government agencies want more money to spend on bigger, more oppressive bureaucracy. State employees and school districts all want more and more money, yet taxpayers are experiencing shrinking incomes doe to inflation, fuel prices, etc.

The bureaucracy is out of control. We need legislators who will rein in this tax and spend mentality, which has taken over state government. This is why I support Rick Jore as the most knowledgeable and conservative candidate for House District 12.
