I want to thank you for giving me the privilege of serving you as State Representative. I take your trust and confidence very seriously.
The past two years have been challenging. Our state and national economies are in the early stages of recession, energy prices continue to rise, and the combination of a declining real estate market and mortgage crisis is threatening the dream of home ownership for many in our community. Governing during these times is not easy, but the future of our Commonwealth depends on sound decisions being put forth on Beacon Hill.
In my position as Ranking Minority Member on the Committee of Ways and Means, I promise I will continue to advocate for the needs of our community. During my tenure at the State House, I have had an exceptional voting record. It is strong record on the issues that matter to us -- a record of accomplishment for Plymouth!
While I continue to approach each issue in a bipartisan manner, working closely with my colleagues to find common solutions to the issues that face Massachusetts, there are areas in which I strongly disagree with our Democratic governor and the Democratic House leadership. I do not believe that the answers rest with increased taxes or solely in the hands of government agencies. Private enterprise, low taxes, and a safe community will help to grow our economy.
Whether it be advocating for legislation or working to solve a constituent problem, I will continue to give you my full effort. Most importantly, I am always available to you and welcome your input.
Most sincerely, Vinny deMacedo
