FARENTHOLD: In 1969, Lieutenant Governor Barnes passed the bill to tax groceries. In 1971 , he passed an increase in the gasoline tax. Did he represent your views when he rammed through these tax bills? Year after year, he has tried to increase consumer taxes. If your taxes are too heavy, help me to make big business pay its share. I'm Frances Farenthold, and I would appreciate your vote for governor.
