In the March 9, 2010 edition of the Daily Progress, writer Brandon Shulleeta interviews IMPACT principals, Keith Drake and Rob Schilling, along with Albemarle County Board of Supervisors member, Dennis Rooker.
Leading conservative voices say Albemarle and Charlottesville residents who want additional services should pony up the money individually — in lieu of tax increases.
“I think that actions speak louder than words and this will show if people are willing to take action on what they claim they want,” local conservative radio talk show host Rob Schilling said.
Schilling and Albemarle Truth in Taxation Alliance Chairman Keith Drake announced Monday they’re forming a political action committee this week that will position the two conservatives as middlemen between those willing to open their checkbooks and local and state governments.
The group, I’m Paying Additional County/City/Commonwealth Taxes — or IMPACT — accepts donations from locals who want higher taxes and gives money to whichever governmental body the person designates: Charlottesville, Albemarle or the state.
