Taxes

I try to keep away from politics on my social media...

That said, I am very concerned about an increasingly complex tax system that is being driven by special interests - our tax system allows multi-million dollar companies to skirt around paying taxes due to deductions and loopholes. No matter which side of the isle you are on, please join me in asking the candidates to address tax reform in the next debate by clicking on the link below (you will need to give your name, email and zipcode - but as you see, I used my middle name)

I pose the following question:

Do you support tax break loopholes for Special Interest Groups?

Special Interest tax laws result in select multi-million dollar companies paying less tax than most Americans. Will you work towards retaining or abolishing tax break laws for Special Interest Groups?

Reading at Soul Food Coffee House

I teamed with poet Amy MacLennan at Soulfood Coffee House for Poetry Night. She read from her new poetry collection 'The Body, A Tree'. I spoke about The Creative Dance.

Huge thank you to LizzyKate for hosting me for the September Kirkland Art Walk - can't wait to do it again!

 She bought a scarf on Friday night and wore it out on the town Saturday night. Love seeing my work out there in the world!
