WHY VOTE REPUBLICAN in MASSACHUSETTS on ELECTION DAY-TAX FOUNDATION.ORG-per CAPITA DEBT MASSACHUSETTS RANKS # 1-$11,309.00 per person, at the time the only state to have a per capita debt above $10,000.00 , second was Alaska and not even close at $8933.00 per capita. AND MARTHA COAKLEY, ANN GOBI and DENISE ANDREWS want to make it worse with the 1 billion they are going to borrow for the (BOSTON) Convention Center and Im sure you missed this one : 014 $1.74 BILLION ENVIRONMENTAL BOND BILL (H 4138) House 138 - 5, approved and sent to the Senate a $1.74 billion environmental bond package allowing the state to borrow funds to finance various environmental projects. The House during floor debate added an estimated $186 million in extra spending, mostly for projects in individual districts. The measure includes dozens of earmarks costing hundreds of millions of dollars proposed by individual representatives and designed to fund projects in their d istricts. The projects are actually more of a wish list: The Patrick administration is required to adhere to the states annual bond borrowing cap and ultimately decides which projects are affordable and actually get funded. Supporters said this landmark environmental legislation package is a fiscally responsible one which will help the state and local communities improve the environment. They argued it is fair and balanced and provides for important projects in all p arts of the state. Opponents said the package, pushed by the Democratic leadership, is loaded with unnecessary spending, particularly in districts where Democratic legislators have Republican challengers in November. Others said the state already has the highest debt per capita in the nation and argued more borrowing will devastate our childrens already debt - ridden future. (A Yes vote is for the bill. A No vote is against it.) Rep. Denise Andrews Yes MORE DEBT, MORE SPENDING, MORE BORROWING !!!!
