Margins tax: Can Lucy Flores take a stand?
Assemblywoman Lucy Flores made her media debut for lieutenant governor on Monday on the local TV show “Ralston Reports.”
Rep. Flores had previously failed to take a stand on the margins tax. And she’s still straddling the fence.
Here’s a rough accounting of her evasiveness:
Jon Ralston: How do you stand on the margins tax?
Flores: I am trying to have a substantive conversation … we have chronically underfunded education in this state. There is a reason this is on the ballot.
Ralston: You don’t like the margins tax?
Flores: It’s not the solution that I favor.
Ralston: Should people vote for it?
Flores: It’s not the solution that I favor.
Sounds like a Clintonian waffle to me. She needs to plainly take a stand or plainly say she doesn’t have a position. Take a look for yourself.
