Tax debate: Angelides response

Angelides' campaign spokesperson Dan Newman provided us with this response to the previous post...

Westly's ads are false. The truth is: 99% of Californians would not see any change in their taxes under the Angelides plan. Angelides will roll back a portion of George Bush's tax cuts for millionaires and close unjust corporate tax loopholes in order to fully fund schools and balance the budget. Steve Westly supports Schwarzenegger's tuition and fee increases, and supports the Republican tax breaks for multinational corporations like Exxon Mobil. The bottom line: Steve Westly supports taxing the middle class, but is willing to let his fellow gazillionaires off the hook.

Mr Westly's campaign has been contacted, we'll run their response if they choose to provide one. Hope this is helpful! Also we're putting the finishing touches on the voter guide, it should be up later today.
