Vote Ned Tolar in Tuesday's Lexington County Council, Dist. 8 race

Vote Ned Tolar in Tuesday's
 Lexington County Council Dist 8 run-off. 

Vote for Ned Tolar  in the Lexington County Council Dist. 8 race, Tuesday.

Challenger Ned Tolar began his campaign against incumbent Councilman Bill Banning with an anti-tax message.

In an depressed economy, as we've endured since the election of Barack Obama, it is cruel and insensitive to raise taxes. Families cannot afford to pay the government more. 

Let the government, including Lexington County's, make due, until things better. 

Vote for Ned Tolar in the Lexington County Council Dist. 8 run-off, Tuesday (June 24.) 

Both Tolar and Banning are Republicans, but Tolar said Banning has not been Conservative, and Banning supports spending projects too much. 

Tolar says Banning has voted in favor of tax increases by the county, three consecutive times (years.) That claim is true. Banning has been pro-tax. 

Tolar has also made the push for a countywide penny sales tax an issue.

Banning is for the penny sales tax. 

Banning said the penny sales is needed for needed improvements in the county.

Banning got around 38 percent of the June 10, primary vote. He needed 50-plus percent to avoid a run-off. Tolar received about 32 percent of the primary vote.

Billy Oswald, a third candidate, received close to 30 percent of the vote.  Oswald, an anti-tax candidate, strongly endorsed Tolar after the initial primary results were reported.
