STATE HOUSE — Opponents of a proposed additional income tax on millionaires claim the group pushing for a new tax on those with incomes above $1 million a year are potentially misleading voters with claims that new tax revenues will only be spent on transportation and education.
"You can't specify where the money's going in a ballot question. That's forbidden," Chip Faulkner of Citizens for Limited Taxation told the News Service Monday after CLT issued a press release asserting that supporters of the tax "can just as honestly promise a unicorn for every family, a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow."
MIAMI – Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is downsizing portions of his campaign and has ordered across-the-board pay cuts while also planning on beefing up his ground game in states with the first contests, according to a staff memo obtained by multiple media outlets.
"Over the last four months our team has consistently reviewed our budget and made spending reductions, including budget cuts by department and salary reductions to senior and mid-level staffers," the memo states, according to the Tampa Bay Times. "Today we are expanding those reductions in order to maximize our resources where they matter most: voter contact and personnel in the early states to ensure we can be successful in the primaries and caucuses."
