Letter: Voting taxpayers have spoken: No new taxes

Sunday, Dec. 9, 2007 | 2:23 a.m.

Jon Ralston's insulting column from Friday, regarding Gov. Jim Gibbons' vocabulary, needs a reality check. Despite Mr. Ralston's opinion, the majority of the taxpayers voted to give Jim Gibbons the opportunity to be our governor for one very important reason - he promised to just say no to new taxes.

So despite all the whining, complaining, insults and temper tantrums (Jim Rogers) that the tax-and-spendaholics such as Mr. Ralston and defeated gubernatorial candidate Dina Titus can throw at our governor, we the people, the taxpayers, have made it clear, the only word Gov. Gibbons needs to utter correctly is no!

I think that's one word even Jon Ralston can understand.
