GOVERNOR BOB GRAHAM
STATE CAPITOL
TALLAHASSEE FL 32301
IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT YOU ALLOW BLACKS WHO DON'T LIKE A COURT DECISION TO DESECRATE OUR CITIES WITH WANTON DESTRUCTION AND PROPOSE A SALES TAX TO REBUILD THEM. I AM A SMALL BUSINESSMAN AND I HAVE EMPATHY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN RAVAGED. BUT A SPECIAL TAX TO REBUILD TELLS THOSE WHO DESTROYED THAT WHATEVER THEY DESTROY NEXT TIME SOCIETY WILL REBUILD. LET THE DESTROYER DO WITHOUT. I WILL OPPOSE ANY SUCH TAX.
