NEVADA - SUE LOWDEN FOR LT GOVERNOR - 'MY OPPONENT VOTED TO SUPPORT OBAMACARE'

“I’m proud I voted for AB138”

My opponent told the Veterans in Politics endorsement committee on Saturday that he was proud he voted for AB138.  I give him some credit for voting for a tax abatement bill since he voted for 55 of the 56 tax/fee increases that were before the Senate in the last session of the Legislature.  Unfortunately he even got this one wrong.

Even though AB138 does give a tax abatement to a company that makes a donation of up to $1 million to a college or university in Nevada it also requires that company comply with ObamaCare.  He explains this away by saying they have to comply with it anyway since it is requirement in federal law.  That it absolutely true but there are a myriad of federal laws that aren’t mentioned in this bill.

Instead of rolling over and playing dead on this bill he could have stood up and asked for this provision to be taken out.  He could have tried to replace the ObamaCare language with language that actually helped Nevadans instead of hurting them.

Hutchison has built his entire political persona on his opposition to ObamaCare and his having been picked by Governor’s Gibbons and Sandoval to represent Nevada in a court case that was lost before the United States Supreme Court.  I give him credit for donating his time to fight ObamaCare but to lose that fight and then vote three times for ObamaCare is not what I want from someone who calls themselves a fighter.  I want someone who will fight tooth and nail to stop ObamaCare, not someone who will require a company to comply with ObamaCare before they can get a tax abatement from the State of Nevada.

I have not given up on opposing ObamaCare but my opponent has.  If elected I will oppose this unwarranted intrusion into our lives by the federal government.  It is the right thing to do.

Tomorrow – Facilitators and Navigators.
