Our comedy central feed went out last nite so we went back to the video from the FrightFest in Hoffman…..Not only did NoTaxBill get a big yuck from his pledge to ban career pols(NoTax has got his own state check for nearly 2 decades)called for remap reform (StateWideTom crashed that one NoTax) and then said he will balanace the budget in his first year with no tax hike.
