Raleigh, NC – In the wake of the North Carolina House’s planned $800 million tax
increase, Tom Fetzer, Conservative Republican candidate for NCGOP
Chairman, offered harsh words for the Liberal Democratic House
Leadership.

“The Liberals have run North Carolina’s state government into the
ground with their incredibly wasteful spending.  Now, they want
working taxpayers to bail them out with an enormous tax increase which
they plan to pass in the dead of night.  I say enough is enough!
After the Liberal Democrats’ repeated failure to responsibly manage
our tax dollars, it is clearer than ever that we need a change in the
General Assembly,” Fetzer said.

Fetzer, a former Raleigh Mayor, sent a sharp message to the Liberal
political establishment: The Republican Party will stand up for the
working people of North Carolina now and in the future.  “I have
served as Mayor of a large city.  I have cut taxes and balanced a
budget many times.  As State Chairman of the North Carolina Republican
Party, I will hold the Liberals accountable every time they waste our
tax money and then try to rob even more from our family budgets,”
Fetzer stated.

“At 12:01 a.m., at tomorrow’s beginning, the Liberal Democrats intend
to pass a massive tax increase in the dark of night on all North
Carolinians.  But I have news for them: by tomorrow’s end, the North
Carolina Republican Party will have already begun its march to a
conservative majority of the General Assembly,” Fetzer.
