Jim Spinola for State Rep
The 118th District includes parts of Luzerne County around Pittston and a part of Monroe County. Only 2 candidates have websites that I know of. That will change in the near future as campaigns realize that this is future of politics. My choice in the Republican primary is Jim Spinola, I haven't decided on the Democratic side. Mike Carrol has Tom Tigue's endorsement and has been all over TV. The other Democrats are ; Terry Best and James "Red" O’Brien, both of Pittston. The other Republicans are Art Bobbouine of Pittston and Maureen Tatu.
Jim has been a good friend to this site and is not afraid to mix it up in the comments. He gets it.
Here's his pitch:
The main thing I hope voters see is that I am the ONLY candidate in the 118th that is talking specifics. All the others make vague generalities about "reducing taxes, creating jobs, yadayadayada".
As you can see from my web site, I am the "Architect with a Plan!" I propose solutions to the issues not just name them.
Property Taxes = ELIMINATE by lowering sales tax to 5%, expand taxable items and give rebates to seniors and low-income families.
Economic Development = Invest federal grant money in technology infrastructure upgrades which will attract business, reduce commuting and increase family time.
Expand PACE Program = Redirect any future gaming money to PACE/PACENET programs to raise income thresholds making more seniors eligible.
Thanks for the opportunity to get the word out!
Jim
