Sente will fight for taxpayers

The economy is hurting families, individuals, businesses and local governments. We need an experienced leader to help our region navigate this storm, and I urge you to join me in supporting Democrat Carol Sente for State Representative.

Carol is a small-business owner, a community volunteer, and former vice president of Vernon Hills Park District. She knows that we need new ideas and new direction to create jobs and put people back to work. She thinks it is unacceptable for employers who took tax breaks from the state to create jobs and then ship these jobs out of state. She will fight for a new law that requires corporations to pay back the tax breaks they receive if they leave Illinois. In response to a Chicago Tribune question: "Do you support an income tax increase?" Carol responded: "I do not support increasing the state income tax. As a small-business owner, I would treat the state like I treat my own business, making difficult but necessary cuts in spending, including taking a pay cut personally to make ends meet during this difficult economic recovery."

We need to keep good jobs in our area so that other businesses will relocate here and help boost our local economy and provide the support our local governments need. Carol Sente has the experience and vision we need. Please join me in voting for Carol Sente for State Representative.
