Taxes - Oct. 20, 2012

SLAUGHTER: I'm Louise Slaughter and I approve this message.

ANNOUNCER: Maggie Brooks supports Mitt Romney's plan for more tax breaks for millionaires but she doesn't mind raising taxes on the rest of us. Brooks broke a promise not to raise property taxes and now Monroe County has the third highest property taxes in the country. She refused to cap gas taxes. A credit rating agency cited “weak budget management” and the paper said Monroe County’s credit ratings sat “two notches above junk bond status.” We just can't afford Brooks.
