Campaigns Should Stick to the Facts
To The Editor:
I believe that a campaign for elected office should be about a discussion of real issues and real facts. Therefore, it is hard to believe that her opponent keeps saying that Assemblywoman Sandy Galef has held up the property tax cap bill in her committee when the bill is not in her committee.
The proposed bill, referenced by her opponent, is in the Ways and Means Committee of which Assemblywoman Galef is not even a member. Her opponent needs to keep to the facts and stop repeating the some old lie.
Ms. Galef has coauthored a bill which will provide significant relief to struggling taxpayers, supports a state takeover of health benefits for teachers, and has promised that she will support a tax cap for school budgets.
Let's have a campaign that sticks to the facts instead of trying to reinvent them. In these extraordinary financial times, we need honesty, integrity, and experience. We need Sandy Galef.
