Adams and Diebel: Tax Raising Politicians that spend like liberals!
The campaign for Seminole County Republican businessman Craig Miller, candidate for District 24’s U.S. Congressional Seat, announced a mail campaign beginning today aimed at exposing the tax raising records of their opponents for the Republican primary; Sandy Adams and Karen Diebel.
“Both of these politicians claim to be fiscal conservatives,” stated campaign spokesman Jon Miller. “Unfortunately Sandy Adams raised taxes $1.7 billion dollars, even voting to tax your estate proceedings after death. Karen Diebel raised rates on local businesses twice, garbage service, storm water, sewer water, taxicab fares, utility meters, recreation, emergency fuel and online payments. Someone forgot to tell them we are in a recession. With their tax hiking record, can we really trust them to work for us and not Nancy Pelosi?”
