Tax Day tea parties

Thursday April 15 come out and tell elected officials that you don't like raising taxes to pay for irresponsible spending - green buildings that don't save energy, pay increases during the recession and ever-increasing costs for every program with little consideration of alternate approaches like contracting out state services. Tax increases raise the cost of doing business, discourage investment and cost jobs.
