The bill, known as the "Taxpayer Protection Act," will limit the annual increase in state spending to the rate of inflation. U.S. Rep. Howard Coble of Greensboro attended NCTU's Raleigh news conference and said the measure was long overdue. Cable, who served as N.C. Secretary of Revenue in the 1970s, went on: to say that state spending has gotten out of control. State House Members Bobby Hall of Sanford and John Gamble of Lincolnton also attended to show support for the measure. NCTU co-chairman Jim Crawford of Oxford noted that state spending had grown from roughly $1 billion in 1972 to more than $9 bill today. "Simply put, North Carolina is no longer a fis- cally conservative low tax state. Because of our past spending habits, we now have the second highest state taxes in the Southeast." "The state of North Carolina has reached a cross road," said NCTU co-chairman Richard Burr of Crawford to run for county sheriff SBI Special Agent Dan Crawford said encouragement from friends for the last 18 months hélped convince him to throw his hat in the political ring and run for the office of Sheriff of Cleveland County. Crawford, who has been" a full- time law en- a ent officer x forcement 0 for 21 years, said is goal is to pro- Sheriff's Department and work with all law enforcement agencies in the area for the com- mon goal of CRAWFORD fighting crime. "I got in this work to make a difference and I believe that my ed- ucation and experience will help do that," said Crawford. He said he doesn't intend to fire anyone if he is elected but will work with each employee on an individual basis. Crawford said he would push for more training programs avail- able to employees in the Sheriff's Department. Crawford, a Democrat, took a voluntary leave of absence from the Bureau January 1 to campaign for the Sheriff's position being va- cated by retiring Buddy McKinney. Except for one year when he “served as Chief of Police in “Canton, Crawford has worked!con- * “20k 3 tinuously with ‘the ‘State Bureau of ~ Investigation. He was special agent ‘in Haywood County from 1972-81 and was promoted to assistant dis- fessionalize the® 3 Aue “Excessive trict supervisor in the Western District in 1981 and moved to Cleveland County in 1983 in that position. He also served as Supervisor of the Southern Piedmont District SBI. Since 1987 he has served as the Cleveland County resident SBI Special Agent and assigned to Murders Unsolved Team. He is a member of the NC Hostage Negotiators Team, the N.C. Police and Shooting and Use of Force Investigation Team, and is present- ly assigned to the NC Governor and VIP Security Team. Crawford has over 2000 hours of law enforcement specialized training. He is court qualified in North Carolina, Florida and Kentucky as an expert in the field of criminology.

The second road pro- vides a much more conservative approach to spending. "Through controlled growth and responsible government, the state legislators can begin to reduce the tax burden on the citizens of our state," he added. "The Taxpayer Protection Act makes good sense for North Carolina and should make good sense for the legislative process." During the news conference, NCTU leaders showed a video de- tailing how taxes and spending have increased in North Carolina over the last 20 years. NCTU has mailed the video to every member of the N.C. House and Senate and asked them to support the "Taxpayer Protection Act." The act will be introduced when the General Assembly meets for the short session in May.
