Text Box: Assemblywoman Continues Statewide Initiative Tour In Clark, Lincoln Counties
Volunteers will be in area to gather signatures for measures 
 
Mesquite, NV - Nevada State Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, a strong advocate for lower taxes and less government, will visit Clark and Lincoln Counties as part of her statewide signature gathering tour. Angle will host several speaking engagements while gathering signatures for her Angle Property Tax Restraint Initiative, a statewide ballot initiative widely referred to as the Nevada-style Prop 13. The tour has had Angle traveling the state in recent days, with several events held in Fernley, Reno, Minden, Tonopah, Pahrump, Minden, Henderson and Las Vegas, Elko, and Ely to name a few.
When Angle, R-Reno, announced her candidacy to run for the congressional seat being vacated by Jim Gibbons, there was concern among taxpayers that she would not have time to sponsor her initiative to provide a permanent cap on property taxes. Angle reassured taxpayers that she keeps her promises, and was first in line to file her statewide ballot initiative in September
"Taxpayers know that despite the temporary measure passed by the Legislature in April of 2005, my measure to protect their wallets is needed more than ever", said Angle, now in her 4th term as a Legislator. That measure, Assembly Bill 489, was passed in an effort to stem voter popularity of Angle’s petition. Recent polling has discovered otherwise. Angle explained, "taxpayers know that without permanent constitutional relief, lawmakers will change the rules anytime to continue soaking the taxpayers."
Beginning on Tuesday January 24 at 11am, the conservative lawmaker will address the Las Vegas Republican Women’s Club at Viaggio, 11261 S. Eastern Ave in Henderson. At 3pm, Mrs. Angle will then arrive at the at the DMV in Mesquite located at 330 N. Sandhill Rd to gather signatures for her Angle Property Tax Restraint Initiative.
On Wednesday January 25 the anti-tax legislator will continue her signature gathering tour in Lincoln County. Her first stop will be 9am at the library in Alamo NV located at 100 South First West. From there she is expected at 12:30pm at the library in Pioche NV located at 93 Main St. From Pioche she continues the tour to Caliente to meet with Nevadans at 6pm at the Caliente Railroad Station located at 100 Depot Ave.
Then on Thursday January 26, Mrs. Angle will return to Mesquite NV at 11am where she will be a guest speaker at the Mesquite Senior Center located 102 West Old Mill Road. Angle is expected to address how her initiative will impact Clark and Lincoln Counties fiscally. Petitions for the Angle Property Tax Restraint Initiative will be available to sign at the listed events. 83,157 signatures are needed by June to qualify for the November ballot.
