From Red State: Another reason to support Carl Wimmer in Utah's 4th

Over at Red State, Erick Erickson posted a telling video with Mia Love, a Republican candidate in Utah's new 4th Congressional District.

Here is what Love, who is the mayor of Saratoga Springs, said about raising taxes:

You know, I never found it easy to sit there and raise taxes and then go back and say, you know, business as usual. It's been – last year we did, well two years ago actually, we did raise taxes, and it was probably the most difficult thing to do. However, the reason why we did it was that our taxes were so low to begin with. And I found that sometimes raising it just a little bit year by year is probably best than doing that big jump. You know you always have to balance when it's justified to raise taxes and when it's not.

Erickson calls it "another reason to support Carl Wimmer." He's the more-conservative candidate in the race.

The winner will face the sole Democrat in the Utah congressional delegation, Jim Matheson, who currently represents another district.
