Republican State Representative Tim Scott has received a commendation from the South Carolina Association of Taxpayers for his diligent, principled and courageous stands against higher taxes.
The organization, regarded as one of the oldest and most reputable pro-taxpayer organizations in the state, cited Scott for his pledge to oppose tax-increases.
Of 14 candidates running for Congress in the First District, only Tim Scott can point to a proven history of stopping tax increases at both the local and state level. No other candidate can match Tim Scott’s record of fighting for the taxpayers. See official release from SC Association of Taxpayers below.
Since being elected to County Council and the South Carolina of House of Representatives, Representative Tim Scott has upheld his promise to the people of Charleston and Berkeley Counties and South Carolina to fight all efforts to raise taxes.
While some politicians see that promise as political rhetoric, Representative Tim Scott understands it is good economics. As a leading Taxpayer’s Advocate Representative Tim Scott has:
• Earned one of only eleven “A” ratings in the S.C. House from the SC Club for Growth.
• Signed and delivered on the SC Association of Taxpayers “NO NEW TAXES PLEDGE”
• For his 12 years of service before signing the No New Taxes Pledges, Tim held the line in opposing tax increases on Charleston County Council and worked to cut out of control government spending.
The SC Association of Taxpayers extends its gratitude and appreciation to Representative Scott for his tireless service and for being a leader who is as good as his word.
