Mark Mullet is not for raising taxes | Letter


October 31, 2012 · Updated 12:56 PM 

I have worked with Mark Mullet since he was elected to the Issaquah City Council in 2009. It really bothers me to see the stuff coming from independent groups saying that Mark Mullet supports raising taxes.

That is simply not true and is far from the truth.

During my time on the Issaquah Council I have been impressed that Mark looks for efficiencies in government to balance the budget not extra tax revenue.

Mark has voted against increasing the property tax on Issaquah residents every year since he was elected. Mark will bring the same fiscal responsibility he has shown on the Council to Olympia to balance our state budget.

I encourage you to vote for Mark Mullet for State Senate.

Fred Butler

Issaquah City Council
