I want voters in my county of Harnett to know what the North Carolina General Assembly and our local Representative Lewis; Stone and Senator Rabin have done to us by passing a so called tax cut for all which is a ruse. First it helped the rich 1%, then it shuffled tax around so it is hard to understand and new areas were set up timed so the impact and increased taxes for a large base of middle income people; working poor and Seniors which would all see a tax increase at different times but the end result is tax cuts for rich and tax increase for the poor. Also they shifted a good amount of the taxes to local governments so we still pay yet the NCGA and Governor can tout a tax cut and campaign on that slogan, Lewis put a whole page in our local paper last week saying just that. But folks listen up when the NCGA shifts the tax to our County Commissioners by telling us if we want to get a service in place then we pay for it is no tax cut. Services that impact the North Carolina Economy in a positive way that are paid from the State revenue should remain the responsibility of the State and if the legislature cuts the funds to our counties after cutting taxes in Raleigh for the rich they are not fulfilling their responsibility to the citizens. Tax cuts and shifting the burden from Raleigh to Harnett County is not a tax cut it is a irresponsible act by our legislators. Joe Langley for NC Senate and Susan Byerly for NC House along with Brad Salmon for NC House should all run against their opponent based on Responsibility to the People and not based on Smoke and Mirrors by a tax plan written by ALEC to undermine the foundation of the NC economy. I have a list of cuts to counties from Raleigh that will impact our services such as the Local Cooperative Extension Service or this Tracking the Cuts: Jackson County drains $500,000 out of savings for its public schools; Rowan-Salisbury lays off 46 employees The Macon County News reports that Jackson County will have to dip into $500,000 of its general fund balance in order to pay for teacher positions, teacher pay raises and teacher assistants, thanks to a state budget that disinvests in public education
