Ga MY VOICE IS YOUR VOICE As your elected spokesman in the House of Representatives, your opinions are my vote Tell me how you feel about the following questions—all of which may be brought up in the House this year and I will vote with the majority • Governor Maddox is in favor of increasing our state sales tax from 3% to 4‘l. Do you agree with his proposal? YES NO c Are you in favor of daylight savings time? YES j^O • Do you approve of an additional P^c gasolien tax? YES NO • Members of the legislature have talked about instituting and rearranging the following holidays to Monday, to allow for a long week-end. They are Washington's Birthday, National Memorial Day, Columbus Day and Veterans' Day. Do you approve? YES NO • Horse racing and pari-mutuel betting have been discussed in the state legislature as a means of raising revenue for Georgia. Would you okay a bill permitting this? YES NO • New industry naturally is an asset all of us are seeking— and the competition between 159 counties is keen. Would you be in favor of Lj mill raise in taxes to advertise Clay- ton County? YES NO • Tax forms seem to be unnecessarily complicated. We have talked about simplifying state tax forms and basing them strictly on federal forms. Besides eliminating complications, the idea also is to expose state tax dodgers who do not share the tax burden. Do you favor simplification based on federal tax forms? YES NO • There has been talk of a bill to wet the whole state. The sale of packaged beer and liquor in Clayton County has long been in dispute. Tax money is to be considered here. Many major motels have investigated Clayton County facilities, but a large number have gone elsewhere because of the absence of bar privileges. These are the facts and I take no stand other than to represent your vote. Tell me whether you favor liquor - licenses in Clayton County. YES NO • There has long been many arguments for and against capi tal punishment, which is mandatory in first degree murder cases under Georgia law. Are you in favor of capital pun ishment? YES NO • Larger cities and counties have been having trouble raising enough revenue to surmount the problems of metropolitan growth. Two remedies have been suggested—one, a payroll tax; the other, a local option sales tax. Which do you favor? Payroll tax Local option sales tax This advertisement has been paid for personally from my own funds. Althuogh I cannot personally acknowledge your answer to the above questions, I will be happy to see you any time at your convenience. You can either call me at my home, or conte down to the State Capitol to see me. If you come to the Capitol, simply send a page in to get me, and I’ll be right out. Your opinions are very valuable to me. and It will be my great pleasure to talk with you.
