A new Simon radio ad – the first of any candidate in the recall campaign – began airing this weekend chastising Arnold Schwarzenegger for his top economic advisor’s call for higher property taxes.
Schwarzenegger’s architect of his economic plan – Warren Buffett – announced last week that Californian’s pay too little in property taxes.
Below is the text of the Simon for California radio ad:
Simon for California Radio Spot: “Don’t Send a Liberal”
Announcer:
Last November, Gray Davis lied about the budget. He lied about the deficit. And he lied about Bill Simon.
But it turns out Bill Simon was right -- the Davis budget was a fraud.
While Davis presided over the largest spending binge in state history, Bill Simon was proposing to dramatically cut spending -- to root out waste, fraud and corruption.
Now, on October 7th, we can set California back on the path to financial accountability by electing a tough, fiscal conservative – Bill Simon.
Bill Simon:
I’m Bill Simon. Gray Davis tripled our car taxes, and now Arnold Schwarzenegger’s team wants to triple our property taxes, which just goes to show you, don’t send a liberal to do a tax-fighter’s job.
I’ve signed the pledge not to raise taxes. Isn’t it time Arnold told us where he stood?
Announcer:
Ready to put government on a diet?
Bill Simon. Right on the issues. Right for California.
