Marty Lamb has worked tirelessly to repeal the automatic gas tax<\/a> increase voted in by the Massachusetts legislature<\/a> last year. He sent out the following email today:<\/p>\n

Today I am announcing that I am leaving the Yes<\/a> on 1 Ballot Question to Repeal Automatic Gas Taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0I still fully support the initiative!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0So why am I leaving????<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0You won’t believe this!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Office<\/a> of Campaign and Political Finance says that our ballot initiative<\/a> cannot tell the public which legislators voted for or against linking the gas tax to inflation. I feel that this a gross infringement on our first amendment rights<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0We could fight them in court…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0But…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Time is running out for this election cycle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0So today I am announcing the TankTheGasTax.Net PAC<\/a> which will educate voters<\/a> how legislators voted on indexing the gas tax to inflation. We will tell voters if their Representative<\/a> or Senator voted for Taxation Without Representation<\/a>. We will tell you who is against indexing before they were for it. We will tell you which members voted to take more money out of your pocket while collecting taxpayer funded per diems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0If you agree that the public has a right to know, then please click here<\/a> to make a much needed donation to kick-off this PAC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Beacon Hill insiders want to keep us quiet. I am not going to let that happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0While I am very sad about leaving the ballot group which I help build, I am hoping that you will show your support for my decision by making a donation today<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Your financial support will be immediately used to print handouts that will be distributed to voters regarding their votes to automatically tax us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Help me hold them accountable!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Please let me hear from you today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Thank you,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Temporarily this automatic tax increase and government transparency on the tax increase is a Massachusetts issue. Don’t count on it remaining only in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
