“Martha Coakley is not a friend of the taxpayer. She should stay far away from the tax issue, instead of reminding voters that if elected she’ll be a vote for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi on more spending and higher taxes, and Scott Brown will not. Scott Brown has stood with us in opposing new taxes. I also take offense at Martha Coakley’s criticism of the “no new tax” pledge that Scott Brown has taken. The “no new tax” pledge is an important policy statement meant to put everyone on notice that… Continue

U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown today filed legislation to establish a temporary sales tax holiday for President’s Day weekend, February 13-15, 2010. In recent years, the Legislature regularly passed legislation to provide one summer weekend where shoppers could purchase certain items tax free.

Last night’s debate revealed some significant differences between Martha Coakley and me.



I want to go to Washington to be a check and balance against the spending abuses of Congress. Martha Coakley will be a rubber stamp for the tax and spend policies that will hurt our economy.



During the debate, Martha Coakley referred to higher taxes as “investments.” I believe higher taxes are job killers that will make it harder for us to get our economy moving again.



We’ve… Continue
