Bill Farmer for State Representative

My name is Bill Farmer. I’m not a politician.  I’m a taxpayer, homeowner and husband who believes Lansing has stopped working for Michigan families.

It’s wrong when politicians raise taxes on seniors and the middle class to pay for tax giveaways to big corporations and rich CEOs.

It’s wrong when politicians protect their lavish perks and expense accounts while cutting money to our local schools.

And when the Speaker of the House himself is under a Grand Jury investigation for illegal activity and rigging an election, it’s time for a real change.  That’s why I’m running.

Middle-class families in Kalamazoo and Calhoun counties work hard and play by the rules. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t cheat to get what we want.

In Lansing, I will be a voice for middle-class families. I will repeal the tax on seniors and cuts to our schools, and push for strict new ethics and transparency laws with tough penalties so our community never has to be embarrassed or ashamed of our representative again.

Help me shake things up in Lansing and get politicians working for us again.  I will:

• Demand tough new ethics and election laws, so scandals like Jase Bolger’s never happen again.
• Eliminate wasteful taxpayer funded expense accounts for legislators.
• End the revolving door of legislators becoming lobbyists for big corporations and special interests.
