Transportation plan will get us roads without waste

Opinion

June 9th is Election Day and Prince William County has a “Hotly Contested”election between Tim Ciampaglio and Mark Dudenhefer in the Second District. This is one of the easiest decisions I have ever had to make in an election. Tim Ciampaglio has rolled out detailed plan after plan with a vision for where he wants to lead us. Mark Dudenhefer has done nothing but make false attacks and try to hide his tax and spend record. It is no wonder people call him “Duden-Hiker” for all the taxes he raised while in office. Did you know that when he represented Prince William and Stafford Counties, he not only voted for Virginia’s largest tax hike, but he also voted to raise three special taxes on Prince William County that he would not have to pay in Stafford. He made our sales tax higher, put a special property tax on us when we sell our homes, and put a special tax on our hotels. I will never vote for a person who believes it’s OK for me to pay a tax that he doesn’t pay.

I have really been impressed by Tim Ciampaglio. His transportation plan will get us roads without waste, like the $290 Million of the tax hike dollars Virginia threw away on the 460 Project. His peak efficiency plan will root out waste in government agencies. Plus, I like his honesty and he doesn’t look down his nose at people.
 
Like I said, this is an easy choice! Ciampaglio is a likeable, honest candidate with plans.The other guy… he’s great at raising taxes, especially, if he doesn’t have to pay them.
