Madison County Board member Kathy Smith (photo right) has announced she is seeking the Republican nomination to run against state Rep. Dan Beiser, an Alton Democrat.
She went straight for the jugular, blasting Beiser for voting in January in favor of a 67 percent increase in the state income tax -- the equivalent of one week of pay.
"I'm running for state representative because I have had enough of the excessive taxation and out-of-control spending by our politicians in Springfield." Smith said. "I have had enough of broken promises from our politicians who say they will not support a tax increase and then turn around and vote to increase our income tax by 67 percent."
