Gary Jeandron breaks his own pledge opposing new taxes — even before Election Day.
We’re used to politicians breaking campaign promises after they are elected to office. George Bush has done it. Governor Schwarzenegger has done it. But it is a rare sight to see politicians break a campaign promise BEFORE they are elected... And that’s exactly what Gary Jeandron has done.
Gary Jeandron has been on the campaign trail saying he opposes new taxes and even asking Manuel Perez to sign a “no new tax pledge.”
But Jeandron violated his own pledge, at least twice since he signed it. First, he supported increasing property taxes last year as a school board member. And now, he supports raising the local sales tax by a 1/2 cent.
More, including Manuel's latest TV spot, over the flip.
He’s running TV ads attacking Manuel Perez on taxes, trying to scare voters into thinking that Perez is going to harm working families. That couldn’t be further from the truth. It seems that by attacking Manuel on taxes, Jeandron is trying to cover up the fact that he has broken a campaign promise — before the election is over. If Jeandron’s breaking promises before election day, imagine what he’d do if he were to win?
