... Becky Guidry .. emailed freshman Rep. Karl Oliver, R-Winona ...

It is irresponsible of our leadership to suggest eliminating income and corporate franchise taxes when: revenue projections are already down, budgets for various services are being cut across the board, funding for public education and other critical services such as child care, foster care and roads/bridges are underfunded ... If and when this bill reaches the full House for a vote, again, I urge you to vote No

... Oliver responded ...

I see you are not a native to the Great State of Mississippi nor do you and I have similar political views. The people of our Great State overwhelmingly share my same or similar views on Government responsibility. I appreciate you going to the trouble to share yours with me, but quite frankly, and with all due respect, I could care less. I would, however, recommend that there are a rather large number of like minded citizens in Illinois that would love to see you return

... Oliver confirmed Friday ... he did send the email and that he "wasn't rude" in his response ...
