Wilson is only fiscal conservative in primary
Editor, Townsman:
If you want your new state senator to be a fiscally responsible legislator who will hold the government accountable in spending our tax dollars, then join me in supporting Jack Wilson for State Senate.
Wilson supports rolling back the sales tax to 5 percent, which Rep. Barry Finegold voted to increase by 25 percent last year. Wilson also supports eliminating the sales tax on alcohol, also instituted last year. Wilson was the first primary candidate to publicly call for a finance control board for the city of Lawrence, to monitor its out-of-control spending and spend our tax dollars responsibly.
Wilson's entire work experience also speaks to his sense of fiscal responsibility. During his tenure at Lawrence's Economic Development Office, he brought Lawrence into a state program providing tax cuts for businesses that created jobs. When he worked for Sen. John O'Brien, he helped to audit the Lawrence School Department, resulting in cost savings and more government accountability.
Wilson is the only fiscal conservative in this primary who has the best interest of the citizen taxpayer in mind.
Wilson has dedicated his career to fiscal management, accountability, and prudent government spending, which is why I support him for state senate.
