Register Your Opinions on Budget Options on Rep. Williams’ Website Survey

Oakville, Watertown and Woodbury residents who would like to sound off on competing state budget proposals, the death penalty and taxpayer-funded election campaigns can register their opinions on these and other issues by going Representative Williams’ website (www.repwilliams.com) and responding to his new on-line survey.
“With sharp differences over competing budget proposals between Governor Rell and legislative Democrats and Republicans making it unlikely that we will reach agreement on a new spending and tax plan until the end of June or even later, I’d like to invite every Oakville, Watertown and Woodbury voter to respond to my new website survey,” said Representative Williams, R-68th District.

“I’d very much like to know how people in the 68th District feel about whether we should adopt a budget that avoids tax increases or one similar to the proposal offered by legislative Democrats several weeks ago that would raise taxes by $3.3 billion. I also have included several issues that are almost certain to come up again during the 2010 legislative session, including a ‘three strikes law’ that targets repeat violent offenders, proposals to abolish the death penalty, providing tax incentives to encourage business growth and create jobs and whether to repeal the law that pays statewide candidates’ campaign expenses,” Representative Williams said.
