CSE’s Matt Kibbe to Attend Tennessee Taxpayer Bill of Rights Townhall in Nashville

Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE) Executive Vice President Matt Kibbe will participate in the TaBOR Townhall in Nashville tomorrow, March 2, 2004, sponsored by the Government Accountability Project and The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).

As you may know, the Tennessee Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TaBOR) is a constitutional amendment that will:

1. Cap the rate of growth of state government spending,
2. Require tax increases to be voted on by the people,
3. Require that excess collections be returned to the taxpayers.

On March 9th TaBOR comes before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The Tennessee Taxpayer Bill of Rights Town Hall Meeting will be on Tuesday, March 2 at 10 AM at the Nashville Sheraton downtown. The purpose of this meeting is to show the legislature that people from throughout the state and nation support the Taxpayer Bill of Rights in Tennessee. Both media and activists are invited to attend.
