More Assembly Candidates on the Chafee Promise that the Legislature Will Approve His Sales Tax

Here are three more responses to independent candidate Lincoln Chafee's public assurance that the state legislature will go along with his proposal to extend the Rhode Island sales tax to items currently not taxed, made during Friday's night WJAR-TV (NBC 10) Gubernatorial debate...

If the governor is leading the way on a tax increase...the General Assembly is going to go along. That's the governor's leadership. That's his plan and they can go along with it. That's going to happen.

Damien Baldino, candidate for State Representative in District 13 (Johnston/Providence), says that...

Lincoln Chafee shouldn't rely on my support. If I'm elected on Tuesday, I will definitely vote against his plan to increase taxes.

...Phil Duquette, candidate for State Representative in District 33 (Narragansett/North Kingstown/South Kingstown), says that...

I will definitely vote against his plan to increase taxes.

...and Dan Gordon, candidate for State Representative in District 71 (Little Compton/Portsmouth/Tiverton, the district that John Loughlin is vacating, by the way) says that...

If elected, I will not only oppose Chafee’s tax increases if he is elected, but will also oppose ANY tax increase!
