Gilmore’s The Man
I am a taxpayer of Russell County and am writing concerning Jim Gilmore and Mark Warner on taxes.
Warner doesn’t mention the car tax relief Jim Gilmore gave the citizens of Russell County and the rest of Virginia. My car taxes would have been more than $800 for 2007. I give Gilmore credit for my taxes being $202.25 for 2007.
If Warner had not stopped the last year of the car tax relief, my taxes would have been zero. Warner raised taxes on the people of Virginia. We don’t need Warner in Washington to help Barack Obama raise taxes on the people of America.
I am concerned about the UMWA fish fry. It was meant for the United Mine Workers and retirees and their families to meet and enjoy their coal mining friends. Instead it has turned into a Democrat rally. Their guests were Rep. Rick Boucher, D-9th, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, U.S. Sen. Joe Biden and Democrats from the state General Assembly.

Gilmore & Warner alike are politicians, so what do you think you can expect from either.
I do Agree about the UMWA Fish Fry. What a disgrace. Every family attending IS NOT a diehard democrat. This crap should be stopped. Return it to like it was years ago when it was held in Flatwoods in Coeburn, just a great day for UMWA families. Politicians ruin anything they get their hands into. Cecil Roberts is a disgrace to the UMWA for cramming this down their throats. UMWA Members, put a damn stop to this…..for all future fish frys. This is why I won’t attend.
Gilmore, if you will remember, promissed to ELIMINATE the car tax. He obviously didn’t, but still managed to drive Virginia into substantial debt. Mark Warner came along and cleaned up Gilmore’s mess.
Gilmore is NOT the man. He is not the man at all.
