OP - I pray you are successful!!

Dreading the increased taxes at both state and local levels.

Go to a fundraiser.

Yes, I know many Dems who want to cut spending and collect less taxes - in fact, I’m the OP and I’m one of them!

As part of the endangered MoCo Middle Class, I am opposed to Moore’s proposals to eliminate the mortgage deduction from state taxes. With a family income of @ $200k and a kid going off to college, we can’t afford another $2k in taxes. MoCo needs to cut programs like giving away free trees to wealthy residents, printing all materials in color, etc. The State should seriously consider abandoning the Purple Line, which will cost us even more money as it operates.

How can we best get this budget changed? Which legislators are most effective to contact? Which interest groups? Ideas?
