Did Mississippi House Member and Lieutenant Governor candidate Jamie Franks vote to support a death tax?
A political ad currently running on local TV stations claims that he did, asking “Why did Jamie Franks vote twice to support the death tax?”
Franks takes issue with the entire ad, which depicts a man walking across graves in a cemetery. “(A cemetery) should be a sacred place and not used in a political stunt,” he says.
The ad never mentions Phil Bryant, the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor. It’s paid for by the Republican State Leadership Committee and its Mississippi affiliate. The group is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
