Schmidt's Gas Tax Hike

- by Excelsior, Staff Writer

It is not every day that Congresswoman Jean Schmidt's opponent chooses to help Congresswoman Jean Schmidt get re-elected. But it's happened now. Wulsin is now running an ad reminding everyone that Congresswoman Jean Schmidt voted with Bob Taft to raise the Gas Tax 27%! We think this is yet one more reason to re-elect Congresswoman Jean Schmidt. Here is the ad:



We applaud Congresswoman Jean Schmidt for supporting Bob Taft's Gas Tax hike. Gas prices were too low. This vote was necessary to raise gas prices so people could no longer afford to buy gas and force them to buy alternatives, and it raised more money for the government. Everytime you fill your tank, take the opportunity to remind yourself that you are paying more for that gas because Congresswoman Jean Schmidt cared enough to raise the gas tax for our own good.

When I think of higher taxes, I think of Congresswoman Jean Schmidt. And as I return home from Labor Day weekend, when I had to fill up my tank on the way out and on the way back, I was reminded of Congresswoman Jean Schmidt's excellent service. We all need to thank Congresswoman Jean Schmidt for standing with Governor Bob Taft to raise our Gas Tax 27%.
