Every tax is a pay cut.  Every tax cut is a pay raise.
Citizens for Limited Taxation

Charlie Sisitsky's Record
  • Sisitsky's signature shows up on Framingham's famous Welcome Proclamation welcoming illegal aliens.

  • Sisitsky voted to place the 2002 override on the ballot.

  • He has worked for the public sector (government) for 40 years and never earned a honest dollar in the private sector.

  • He serves to feather the retirement nests of the unions that re-elect him.

  • Believe it or not, in the past 12 years on the Board of Selectman, Charles J. Sisitsky has raised our property taxes by forty (41%) percent.

    1.025^12 = 35% + 5% in 2002 = 41% tax hike

  • In those twelve years, he has twice attempted to pass another tax hike under the name of Pay As You Throw (PAYT) to increase trash collection costs. In both cases, Town Meeting rebuffed him.

  • In 2009, Sisitsky voted to increase both the residential and commercial property tax rates in Framingham.

  • In 2009, he voted to increase the hotel tax.

  • In 2009, he voted to increase our restaraunt tax.

  • Sisitsky has voted to increase water and sewer fees for at least fours years in a row.

  • In fiscal 2010, thanks to Charlie, Framingham faces a $20 million deficit from excessive pay and benefits.

  • Framingham has $150 million in long term debt.

  • Framingham has over $300 million in long term liabilities in their Retirement fund and Other Post Employment Benefits (health insurance for retirees). Thank you, Charlie.

  • Sisitsky increases property taxes by 41 percent in twelve years, maximizes the commercial property tax rate, increases the hotel tax, local sales tax and food tax, increases the water and sewer rates for four years and now he wants to encourage companies to work in Framingham. Good luck with that strategy.

  • Sisitsky is merely a government robber baron that plunders anything that moves within or through Framingham.

  • Sisitsky talks about revenue enhancements. Will someone remind me how government enhances revenues by means other than raising taxes or fees?

    Taxes are not the most important thing in government. They are the only thing.

  • Have you ever heard Sisitsky talk about reducing spending? He's a true believer that the evil of deficits come from low tax rates.

  • Sisitsky has 12 years of experience.
       -  12 years experience in raising your property taxes by 41%
       -  12 years experience in raising teachers salaries by 5.8% year over year
       -  12 years experience in raising your total long term debt and unfunded liabilities from $100 million to nearly $500 million.
       -  12 years of allowing illegal into Framingham

  • Charles J. Sisitsky has a good brand name, like Coca Cola. You just know that when you elect Sisitsky, you will get that finely honed Sisitsky brand that will give you higher taxes, more illegals and much more debt. Count on it. The Sisitsky brand says so.
