Question 4 on the November 3, 2009 ballot, know as the Tax Payer's Bill Of Rights (TABOR) question, asks: do you want to change the existing formulas that limit state and local government spending and require voter approval by referendum for spending over those limits and for increases in state taxes?
Guests on this program include:
- David Crocker, chairman of the the TABORNow campaign
- Christopher St. John, executive director of the Maine Center for Economic Policy
Joining by phone were:
- Ted Koffman, executive director of the Maine Audubon Society
- State Representative Doug Thomas, (R) - Ripley
In addition to the guests on both sides of this issue A.J. fielded phone calls from listeners as well as e-mails from the audience.
Also, users also weighed-in on twitter.com when they included the text: #MPBNOnTheLine in their tweets. |
