Rep. Cam Ward Statement on Opposition to House Bill 13
(Jefferson County Occupational Tax)
(MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA)—State Representative Cam Ward (R-Alabaster), a candidate for the state senate in 2010, issues the following statement regarding his vote against House Bill 13 today:
“I voted against House Bill 13 today because some 40,000 people who work in Jefferson County and live in Shelby, Bibb and Chilton Counties, many of whom are my constituents, will unfairly bear the brunt of a financial disaster created by the Jefferson County Commission. It is a travesty to impose a tax on hard-working families to cover the ineptitude of county officials whose out-of-control spending caused this fiasco in the first place. If the Senate passes this measure, it will be a sad day in Alabama.”
