    IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Date: September 15, 2006

    (Grand Isle) Last week, Hardy Machia secured the nominations of the Libertarian and Republican parties for State Representative of Grand Isle-Chittenden-1-1 for the general election in November.

    Machia stated, "I'd like to thank the primary voters for their support last Tuesday. I look forward to meeting many of you when I knock on your doors over the next several weeks."

    "As I survey voters, high property taxes are by far the top issue, followed by protecting the lake and making health care affordable." Machia continued, "We need to stop wasting our time on frivolous legislation, and pay attention to Vermonters' needs. My top focus will be on the problem of property taxes in Vermont."

    Machia said, "Vermonters can't afford to live in Vermont anymore. Spending is increasing faster than your paycheck. Property taxes are way too high. We need fiscal responsibility in Montpelier."

    When asked about the lake, Machia responded, "We need to to protect Vermont's greatest natural resource. A polluted lake reduces tourism, lowers property values, and is less enjoyable for everyone. We need new leadership to do more to protect our great lake."

    On the subject of health care, Machia says, "Many Vermonters still cannot afford health insurance. We need to break the health insurance monopoly in Vermont, and allow Vermonters to buy health insurance from other states for a fraction of the cost."

    Hardy Machia's past political experience includes being elected to the Grand Isle Selectboard in 1999 and as its chairman in 2000. He was the Grand Isle Selectboard representative to the Northwest Regional Planning Commission in 2000, and he was elected as a Justice of the Peace in 2002.

    Machia is currently active in the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce, the Grand Isle Business Round Table and the Creative Economy forum. He is also a member of the Grand Isle Broadband Project, where he worked to bring high-speed wireless access to the Islands.
