Orlando Sentinel On Miller Mailer: “TRUE”

The campaign for Seminole County Republican businessman Craig Miller, candidate for District 24’s U.S. Congressional Seat, received a welcome affirmation on 8-2-2010 by the Orlando Sentinel. After reviewing a mailer sent to constituents concerning the tax raising records of his two primary opponents, Sandy Adams and Karen Diebel, the Orlando Sentinel came to the conclusion that all of the claims were true.

“A review of their tax raising records clearly shows a pattern of politicians that are just out of touch with their constituents,” stated campaign spokesman Jon Miller. “You either believe the government has too much money or you justify reasons and equivocations why they deserve more as Ms. Adams and Diebel have done. Craig Miller is committed to the Americans for Tax Reform pledge that he took to not raise taxes. I am pleased that the Orlando Sentinel checked our facts and agreed that everything in our campaign mailer was true.”
