George Washington University Law Professor Mary Cheh Tuesday called for an increase in taxes at a candidates' forum.

Cheh, a candidate for the Ward 3 seat on the city council, said she favored raising taxes to get "new real money" in answer to questions about how to fund programs for the homeless.

Bill Rice immediately responded: "I will not vote to raise taxes. I will use the Council's oversight authority to find the needed funds from wasteful, inefficient spending, such as from the property
management office as well as from other areas of the current D.C. budget."

Added Rice, "We should fund these needs with current revenues. Uncontrolled, irresponsible spending is what led us to the financial crisis of the mid-1990s and the imposition of the Control Broad by Congress. We spend more per capita than most big cities. Our problem is not lack of money, it's lack of accountability."

Cheh's suggestion that the recordation and transfer tax be increased would impose an additional burden on top of a $2,500 increase set to be implemented October 1st on the cost of a typical Ward 3 home.

Rice will be a full-time councilmember, committed to fixing our public schools and keeping our budget balanced. He recently resigned after six years as spokesperson for the District Department of Transportation where he was well-known for being accessible.

The forum was sponsored by the Community Council for the Homeless at Friendship Place and Friendship Place Partners and was held at Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church at the intersection of New Mexico and Nebraska Avenues.

Mary Cheh's campaign manager Anne Marie Baristow and many of Cheh's supporters using a wide variety of names like JoyceMarie2008, Joe Kerr DC and others have attacked Cathy Wiss, Paul Strauss, Bill Rice and myself from their homes and also off the PN Hoffman Server where
Cheh is renting space from PN Hoffman Company and appears to be plugging their computers into the PN Hoffman network.

Baristow and two others are using a laptop when they have posted their attacks.

Mary Chen and her supporters are attacking her rivals on many of the Yahoo list servers!!!!

Why?
