Dunlap Wed, 11 Mar 2009 19:04:38 +0000 http://www.pittzine.com/?p=99#comment-4 I admit not knowing much about the other candidates yet, but I know Tonya Payne shouldn't be representing anybody in a democratic society and hope we're in the last days of her so-called leadership. She believes its ok to ignore constitutional law to push government babysitting legislation forward, and has helped to further oppress renters (including college students) with the new landlord registration program that essentially boils down to a further tax on renters. You don't believe those fees will come from the landlord's pockets do you? Renters are already unfairly taxed because they don't get equal deductions to home buyers and every additional fee or tax placed on landlords filters down to the renters through increased rent prices. Oh, and her dismissal of constitutional law, just read the article from the PG where she talks about the bill forcing gun owners to report a stolen gun within 24 hours http://www.postgazette.com/pg/08329/930426-100.stm Her quote is "Who really cares about it being unconstitutional?"... I would hope most people do and I hope they show it at the polls.

Her quote is “Who really cares about it being unconstitutional?”… I would hope most people do and I hope they show it at the polls.
