A TAXPAYER’S BILL OF RIGHTS AMENDMENT:

GUBERNATORIAL PLEDGE

Whereas, I believe in fiscal discipline and that government should not pose an unnecessary burden on taxpayers;

Whereas, I believe that government should not grow faster than the state;

Whereas, I believe that government should be beholden to the people;

Whereas, I support the following principles:

· Annual state spending growth should be limited to the rate of population growth and inflation.

· Excess revenues collected above this limit should be used to create a Budget Stabilization Fund, an Emergency Fund and refunded to taxpayers through broad-based tax cuts and rebates;

· Tax increases should only be enacted by the people’s vote or a legislative supermajority;

Therefore, I _______ pledge to support a Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights in North Carolina
