Taxpayer Accountability Pledge
The Taxpayer Accountability Pledge is a project of the Equality State Taxpayers Association.
Given the difficult economic conditions and the amount of governmental growth within the state of Wyoming, the Equality State Taxpayers Association seeks the opportunity to hold state legislators accountable for their actions. The Equality State Taxpayers Association believes our fragile economy will only be further harmed by increasing taxes, licenses and/or fees designed to maintain a bloated government we can no longer sustain. It is time to reduce the size of state government to reflect our current economy.
The Taxpayer Accountability Pledge:
As your State Representative/Senator from House/Senate District #______, I, _____________________________, pledge to my constituents as Wyoming taxpayers that I will oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes, licenses or fees for the 2018 Legislative Session.
