Read the paragraph.
As a city councilor, my opponent began a state-of-the-art parking meter program. The
meters
bothered shoppers so much that they
stopped coming downtown. Businesses along Main Street lost hundreds of dollars. As a county commissioner, he sponsored a bridge building
project that went way over budget. As a state senator, he started
tax program that caused fourteen businesses to leave the state. It also put
2.000 people out of work. I can hardly wait to see the helpful programs my opponent will inflict on the state as our governor.
