Lt. Governor Attack Ad: Misleading Or Not?
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?”
The claim refers to 2004 House Bill 1781, which would have changed the estate tax schedule. Franks says the claim is false. “What I voted for was to increase the exemption in the estate tax, to conform it to federal law when it was increased. The State Senate passed the same bill, most of the Republicans in the Senate voted for that legislation,” he says.
The ad also says “That same Jamie Franks played politics and blocked millions of dollars in economic development money.”
