Phillips letter: Elect Rebecca Arnold

I’m voting for Rebecca Arnold because she’s a strong fiscal conservative, qualified leader and excellent manager of our tax dollars. Over the past decade, her tax-and-spend, liberal-leaning opponent has consistently voted to raise our property taxes from his cushy perch at Boise’s city hall. Rebecca Arnold, on the other hand, has successfully helped the Ada County Highway District hold the line on spending and unnecessary tax increases while championing projects which reduce traffic congestion and improve public safety. Rebecca understands who pays for government and has proven her commitment to prudently manage the funds we citizens supply to ACHD.

Scott Phillips, former executive diretor, Idaho Republican Party, Boise
