To Whom It May Concern:
The Governor attended our Rotary meeting this afternoon (Downtown Spartanburg).  I praised her for her ongoing commitment to economic development and complemented her plan to reduce income taxes and fund infrastructure.  However, I asked about some of the figures:
+3.5 billion in a 10 cent gas tax increase (over 10 years)
-5.6 billion in a reduction of the income tax from 7% to 5% (over 10 years)
NET: (2.1 billion)- over 10 years
She said my math was incorrect and explained how her plan reconciles over the next 10 years.  After the meeting, I asked her for additional information, and she said to contact her office.  

The business community has been weak in supporting a "comprehensive approach" and not united around one single solution.  Armed with accurate data, I'd explore the possibility of asking our leadership to support the Governor's plan.  

I appreciate your attention to these issues.  I look forward to your response.  Allen
