Ohio 2006 Senate Debate: on Tax Reform

Mike DeWine: Some ads had mistakes, but say Brown votes against tax cuts

DeWINE: When it came time to help the middle class with tax cuts, a tax cut that has taken five million Americans off the tax rolls, that has given the average Ohioan $2,000 per year, Sherrod Brown voted no time and time again.

BROWN: Mike, you know better than that, too. His whole ad campaign is fabricated on making up stuff about taxes.

DeWINE: My ad campaign is based on votes that you cast. You just want to run from your record.

BROWN: Mike ran an ad of the World Trade Center on fire. The problem is, he doctored the ad.

DeWINE: Have you ever denied the facts in that ad? I said there was a mistake made in the picture, but there was no mistake in the facts.

BROWN: He didn't fire the ad agency.

Q: Was there any factual mistake?

BROWN: Well, other than doctoring a photo?

Q: Well, you made that point.

BROWN: That's a pretty important point.

DeWINE: He won't answer the question. The facts are correct.
