DiNuccio wins taxpayers' endorsement

Al DiNuccio has won the endorsement of CLT’s 2 ½ Political Action Committee in his election bid for state representative from the 15th Essex District.
CLT’s 2 ½ PAC, the political arm of Citizens for Limited Taxation, was originally created to support candidates who would defend Proposition 2 ½ in the State Legislature. It now endorses candidates who support taxpayers on a variety of issues, and uses the CLT Legislative rating to identify pro-taxpayer legislators.
Francis J. Faulkner, executive director of the PAC, said the group endorsed DiNuccio based on his strong support for tax limitation.: “We need to put people like Al DiNuccio in the State Legislature to continue the fight for the income tax rollback and to block any attempt to impose new taxes. Al has also taken the taxpayer protection pledge. This pledge asks candidates to ‘oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes.’ A candidate who signs the pledge is sending a message to legislative leaders that he is serious about not raising taxes and will focus instead on better management of state revenues.”
In contrast his opponent, Rep. Campbell, received a 40% on CLT’s most recent taxpayer rating.
