“This is not the time in our Commonwealth to talk about any kind of tax increase, especially those that are fundamentally regressive and will hit hardest those who are struggling,” wrote Doug Wilder today.
Doug Wilder, the first African American to be elected Governor, resisted calls from everyone from Tim Kaine to Barack Obama to endorse Creigh Deeds.
“The requests, made of me, have been to endorse Mr. Deeds, the Democratic Candidate, for Governor. I refrain from doing so and will leave that choice to the voters.”
OUCH!
“It is a time to do everything possible to let the public know that we are serious about getting a handle on spending and controlling it better.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Read Wilder’s statement here.
