April 4, 2007- Henrico resident Matthew T. Martin, founder of the Henrico Taxpayers Union, has declared his candidacy in the race for Brookland District Supervisor, challenging republican incumbent Dick Glover.
Matt is a native Virginian and participant in Henrico civic events who successfully campaigned against the meals tax referendum in 2005, and challenged incumbent John O’Bannon for Virginia House of Delegates earning the second-highest vote count in history for the Libertarian Party of VA in a two-way House race. Matt is the elected vice-chair of the Henrico LP and a member of the Virginia Citizen’s Defense League.
With the Richmond area becoming a melting pot for bilking the public through taxation and real estate, Matt is one of the few candidates who will break the ties between government and big business that hurt the citizen. “We have seen oppressive new taxation, convoluted new regulations, and intrusive new security measures.” says Matt, “All of this is done because the politicians and bureaucrats think they know better than we do how to live our lives.”. He is against the daily $2 million spending of the current Henrico Board, the manipulation of zoning and eminent domain. He supports the rights of the individual and the Constitution.
Vigilant, adapting leadership is required to keep up with the fleecing of Henrico. As there is no democratic challenger in this race, Matt is the voice for change in this year’s election. Now is not the time for republicanism and incumbency, it is the time for alert watchmen like Matt Martin.
