Guest Post: We don’t need new taxes, but who will tell Washington?

The road to economic recovery is not paved with new taxes.

Okay, I will agree that their recent gubernatorial candidates have been fairly bad - but he is not referring specifically to them. He is referring to their House and State Senate candidates.
