Neff knows Virginia must fund its needs

The front page Daily Progress story on Oct. 22, on Cynthia Neff’s political ad mailed to 58th District voters (“Neff mailing compares Bell to bad hubby”), ends with a statement paraphrasing Rob Bell’s philosophical mantra. That issue is Bell’s and the Republican Party’s agenda of keeping taxes low.
As a Republican voter, I agree. At the same time, ironically, this approach by Rob Bell really is saying that he promises to take his voters off the tax rolls and leave it to me to make up the difference in revenues. Virginia is way short of funds for supplying basic needs of roads, schools and you-name-it. We cannot build jobs and create new businesses in this state if there are no roads or schools or police to provide for those new employees.
Let’s get real and vote for the real leader, Cynthia Neff, who knows how to bring business and prosperity to the state. Republicans are not true to their individualism when they depend upon others to pick up the burden.
