Diehl Files Amendment to Exempt OTC Drugs From Sales Tax

Boston, MA…Today Rep. Geoff Diehl (R-Whitman) filed a budget amendment that will exempt over the counter drugs from the sales tax. “The Commonwealth of Massachusetts exempts necessities from the sales tax. With so many people relying on over the counter drugs for basic health care, they are a necessity. It is time to exempt them from this regressive tax and make these drugs more affordable for families and seniors,” said Diehl. Twelve other states either don’t tax these types of medication or have no sales tax what so ever. The state of Connecticut recently passed an exemption. “Massachusetts doesn’t collect taxes on the sale of food, clothing and college books. It just seems to make sense to exempt these drugs that provide pain relief and other valuable help,” said Diehl. OTC medications help people who suffer from pain, sleep deprivation, colds, flu, injuries and weakened immune systems to name a…

DIEHL: Taxpayers Pay More With Warren

Braintree, MA … Today on tax day Representative Geoff Diehl, candidate for U.S. Senate, criticized Senator Elizabeth Warren’s record on taxes. “This is the day we dread every year when we have to pay our tax bills. We would be paying even more if Elizabeth Warren had her way. She voted against the tax reform bill that helped 80 percent of Massachusetts residents and that also supplied pay raises and electric rate decreases,” said Diehl. Taxes are a dividing issue between Diehl and Warren. According to the National Tax Limitation Committee, Warren has a failed record of “zero” in standing up for the taxpayers in Washington. While she wants people to pay more, Diehl led the successful effort to repeal automatic gas tax hikes—saving taxpayers $2 billion. He has earned a perfect record in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from Citizens for Limited Taxation. Moreover, Diehl is the only candidate…

Diehl: Warren’s words don’t match actions as she heads to Ohio

Whitman, MA … Today Representative Geoff Diehl, candidate for U.S. Senate, criticized Senator Elizabeth Warren for traveling to Ohio this coming weekend. “So much for the plan,” said Diehl. During a town hall meeting last week, Warren said it was her “plan” to stay in the Senate and not to run for President. Within days of her “plan” comment, she has sent out a fundraising email regarding the Florida senate race and now she is traveling to Ohio. Both states are extremely important in the presidential sweepstakes. “Senator Warren’s words don’t match her actions. She cannot stay focused on Massachusetts for one week,” said Diehl. “Warren won’t sign the 6 year pledge because it is clear she is not focused on her job, but rather running for president.” Warren recently donated $5000 to every Democrat State Party in the nation. She also traveled to Asia to build up her foreign…

Diehl: Warren Plays Belated April Fools

Diehl: Warren Voted Against Funds to Fight Opioid Addiction Boston, MA … Today, Representative Geoff Diehl, candidate for U.S. Senate, criticized Senator Elizabeth Warren for her vote against the 21st Century Cures Act that contained $12 million for fighting opioid addiction in Massachusetts. “When given a chance to fight opioid addiction, Warren voted no. She was the only member of the Massachusetts delegation to vote ‘no.’ She didn’t just vote against it. Warren lobbied against the bill that provided $12 million to our state to fight the epidemic. Now we are supposed to believe that she cares. This new bill she is filing reeks of being an election year stunt and a bad belated April fool’s joke,” said Diehl. Warren is expected to announce that she is filing a new bill with $100 billion in funding to fight opioid addiction. However, if Warren had had her way by defeating the…
