TEA PARTY OF LOUISIANA OUTS SO CALLED “CONSERVATIVE” “TEA PARTIER” DEBBIE DOOLEY’S SUPPORT OF SOLAR TAX CREDITS & PRESS CONFERENCE EVENT
Calls On Louisiana Legislators Not To Drink the Left-coast Cool-aide or Accept the Payoff !!!
For Immediate Release May 6, 2015
BATON ROUGE - The Tea Party of Louisiana (TPoL) has learned that a lobbyist, making the dubious and questionable claim of being both a "Tea Partier" and a "conservative", named Debbie Dooley is planning to hold a "Conservatives Support Solar" - (Ha! Ha! What a Joke) - event and press conference that's nothing more than an excuse to connect "Big Money Solar Fat Cats" with Louisiana legislators, where they plan to offer "buckets of campaign cash" in an attempt to "buy" support for continuing Louisiana's Solar Tax Credit give away. A program that takes tax money from schools, hospitals, and roads, and gives it to "crony capitalists" in the form of "corporate welfare." Is Louisiana's budget now, miraculously, in such good shape that we can continue such irresponsible waste?
TPoL wants to take this opportunity to remind our elected representatives of two important facts: First, anyone can falsely claim to be something, but "conservative is as conservative does"; judge the actions, not the rhetoric; and two, no legitimate, viable business needs a government subsidy in order to exist.
TPoL reminds our legislators that an election is coming soon and the voters are watching. TPoL urges our legislators to decline this corrupt invitation and send a message to both the "Fat Cats" and the ordinary citizens. Tell everyone, by not attending this unseemly "auction", that in Louisiana, the "keys" to the public treasury are not for sale to the highest bidder.
TPoL urges our legislators to do the right thing, end the giveaways, end corporate welfare, and restore sanity to our state budget. Stop robbing average people and breaking the state budget so a few well connected fat cats can keep getting their unreasonable corporate give aways.
The Tea Party of Louisiana wants to make its position on ending refundable corporate tax credits including the solar energy tax credit otherwise known as Crony Capitalism "perfectly clear" – END THEM ALL NOW !!!
In light of Louisiana's current budget situation, let's end the insane give aways that are called "refundable tax credits" and let's start by killing the solar tax credit!
