FreedomWorks fights tax increases in North Carolina

Freedom Works activist, Joyce Krawiec, presented NC Forsyth County commissioners with a pledge document at a recent debate forum. The three candidates competing for the commission seat all agreed that they would not promote a Land Sales Transfer tax increase or an increase in the local sales tax.

County Commissions across the state are considering these options. The 2006 elections had one of these sales tax initiatives on the ballot in 33 counties. The results were overwhelmingly against the tax increases. No increases were approved in the land sales transfer tax initiatives and only 5 sales tax increases were approved. Good news for the citizens of North Carolina counties.
