It has been three months and a pocketful of chump change since the tax-loving politicos in Augusta started gouging for magazines and newspapers.

I’m sick of it.

While these phony profiteers pay lip service to education by requiring expensive electronic equipment in schools, they tax the basics of reading.

I started with the pictures and big print words in my mother’s magazines, then, after the war, my father would read me Red Ryder, Vic Flint, etc. My reading curiosity increased and never ceased.

Working 32 years at the Boston Public Library, I saw many people crowding the newspaper and periodical rooms from opening until closing.

These tax lovers should not get re-elected.
