STOP GOV. LYNCH'S INCOME TAX!!!!

On Wednesday over 300 people attend the Department of Revenue Administrations (DRA’s) hearing to protest Governor Lynch's job-killing LLC tax.
During the hearing DRA Commissioner Kevin A. Clougherty stated that the DRA couldn’t hold more public hearings on the LLC tax due to state budget cuts. AFP State Director, Corey R. Lewandowski would like to remind the Commissioner that he is a salaried state employee that has a state issued vehicle and doesn’t pay tolls. Lewandowski went on to question what expenses the Commissioner was talking about. “I am sure that if the Commissioner needs a place to host a public hearing, any local library would provide a meeting room free of charge,” Lewandowski stated.
Commissioner Clougherty was clearly unnerved by the capacity crowd opposing this 5% INCOMCE TAX on small businesses. When asked why the Commissioner doesn’t target larger corporations as opposed to small business owners, the Commissioners response was simple “I’m going to be fair and I’m going to go after everybody.”
AFP is calling for Commissioner Clougherty’s immediate resignation. Please call Governor Lynch today at 603-271-2121 and ask him to fire Commissioner Clougherty. Clougherty is the mastermind behind not only the proposed 5% INCOME TAX on LLC owners but also the recent increase in the Rooms and Meals tax to 9%.
On Monday, December 21, 2009 at 10:00 AM, Governor Lynch will participate in an online town hall hosted by the Live Free or Die Alliance. This is your chance to let the Governor know that you oppose his job-killing small business income tax!
