The regressives are desperately spinning victory out of defeat at yesterday’s polls.
[Americans for Tax Reform] think the Republican nomination of appellate lawyer Michael J. Golden to replace Mr. Dillard is another victory.
Mr. Golden campaigned on reducing the property-tax burden for residents and said he opposed last year’s state tax increases. He will face Democrat David Marsden in November.
Here’s how Golden fared in 2003 against Marsden’s mentor Jim Dillard:
J H Dillard II—8,889–63.55%
M J Golden—–3,768–26.94%
J M Wolfe——1,294–9.25%
He’s got a long way to go.
