To the Editor:
Small business is in my blood. As a third-generation pharmacist and business owner, I support Chris Johnson for the Maine Senate.
The Maine Republican Party recently put out a mailing saying Johnson is against small business. That is a gross distortion. It claimed Chris would do away with the Business Equipment Tax Reimbursement. He never considered such a foolish thing. It is an out-and-out false claim.
Take a minute to think. Why would any politician say they were anti-business in Maine? Almost all of our businesses are small.
Chris works for a small business. He knows that nearly 70 percent of our jobs are in small businesses. If you want to know more about this honorable and reasonable man, go to his web page — http://senatorchrisjohnson.org — and learn the truth.
Please join me, a conservative businessman, and vote for Chris Johnson.
