Independent Green Candidate for State Representative of the 60th District, Dennis Spisak, said today that President Bush's tax cut proposal will not stimulate the economy, but a Green Economic Stimulus Package will.

"President Bush's call for tax cuts is a false and short-term approach that is economically flawed and will bankrupt America", said Spisak. " It is based on  old ideas rooted in a dirty, fossil fuel based economy."

Spisak called for Congress to pass a green stimulus package that helps those who need it the most. "Rebuilding  America's crumbling infrastructure offers two opportunities that we must seize as a country: transitioning America to a clean energy economy and expanding economic opportunity for all".

Spisak added "  we have the unique opportunity to promote green-collar jobs and pathways out of poverty.  Through targeted investments in energy  efficiency, mass transit, and a Clean Energy Corps to provide  Americans with jobs and service opportunities, we can not only avoid  short-term recession, but also put millions of Americans to work, creating a secure economic and environmental future for all Americans."           

" This is the opportunity to act boldly to strengthen U.S. energy independence and to invest in the clean and sustainable energy
sources that will form the foundation of a new era of economic prosperity."

"If elected to to the state house, I will work with state and federal elected officials to support a green stimulus package that creates new jobs and a green economy strong enough to lift people out of economic depression on to a pathway out of poverty", Spisak concluded.
