Franco is a strong supporter of allowing people to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks and using tax cuts to stimulate our state’s economy. Early on in the campaign he signed Citizens for Limited Taxation “No New Taxes” pledge and vowed to support rolling back the 25% sales tax hike.
“People should be able to keep more of their paychecks. This endorsement is key to winning this race. It shows that I am the only candidate committed to fighting for fiscal responsibility,” said Franco. “I know the people of this district want a representative who will fight to lower taxes rather raise them. This is a major difference between me and my opponent.”
Lt. Col. Paul Franco knows that new growth will help individual investors prepare better for their retirement, children’s education, or future needs. Most importantly, growth in the economy will create new jobs and spur opportunity for thousands of
“I believe that tax cuts stimulate the economy and ease the burden on the taxpayers,” added Franco.
The “No New Taxes” pledge clearly states as a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives Paul Franco will oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes.
