CURB LOBBYING GET FAT OUT BY CUTTING STATE TAXES 10 PERCENT

I WOULD HESITATE to point a finger, because that's what my representatives are supposed to be doing. Why can't we have people in government who will do what they are supposed to do? I should not have to wonder what programs are necessary and which programs favor one section of the state.

What do you think of these suggestions? Outlaw all lobbying by special-interest groups, freeze all real-estate taxes for low-income people and cut state taxes by 10 percent (the only way to get the fat out). RICHARD RADCLIFF BLUE RIDGE
