Carroll Andrew Morse

Responding via the comments section of Anchor Rising, Don Botts, candidate for the Rhode Island House of Representatives in District 16 (Cranston) responds to independent Gubernatorial candidate Lincoln Chafee's plan to expand the RI sales tax, and Mr. Chafee's belief that the General Assembly will "go along" with that expansion, by saying...

If I am elected on Tuesday, I would not support Lincoln Chafee's plan to raise taxes.

There is no way in hell that I would support Chafee's tax increase.
