Democrats Rally Against Sales Tax Move
Democratic State Chairman John M Bailey spoke to over 800 Democrats at a pre election dinner rally in Seaview Avenue Champ's Shore House. Bailey accused Governor McConaughy of political expediency and said a February special session to revise the sales tax would be an attempt to shift blame. James J Whalen backed the ticket, urging repeal of the tax and denouncing unions tax support as a critical vote to end the law. Bailey argued the Governor could call a special session for an emergency, questioning the foreseen need three months ahead and alleging politics are at play to help the party in upcoming elections.
