Vote NO on Question 3 - Jae dips her big toe into politics!

Traveling around the state touting my mantra, "Use your voice" teachers have asked me how to do it.  Here is a way...  Sign up at http://votenoquestion3.com and spread the word to colleagues and family about Question 3. You can even get a stamp on the website for your facebook page or blog.  Question 3 would roll back the state sales tax from 6.25 percent to 3 percent. Nobody wants to pay more taxes; the recession has taken its toll on all of us in all aspects of our lives. A lower sales tax at first glance is appealing but we must look at the long range impact it will have, especially for the children of Massachusetts. For the past few years we have used stimulus money to help balance our state budget but what will happen next year when it has run out? That reality coupled with a loss of 2.5 billion dollars from a yes vote on Question 3 could decimate our educational system and result in the loss of many jobs. Please join me in voting NO on Tuesday, November 2.
