BARBIERI: How he lost this vote

I see Vito Barbieri is running for re-election. My only contact with him was when I wrote him a letter and asked if he would be willing to sponsor a bill exempting food banks from sales tax on food they purchased to give to the needy. He did not have the decency or courtesy to even respond to me.

I can only assume he favors the taxing of food purchased by food banks to give to the needy. Shame on him. I normally vote conservative/Republican. In his case, I will make an exception.
