Sen. Norma Champion says Doug Harpool is attempting to distract Springfield voters from his extensive voting record supporting higher taxes and bigger government.
The Champion campaign sent out an e-mail release titled: Harpool Tries to Distract Voters Friday evening.
The release calls Harpool's criticism of a Champion ad "desperate and hypocritical."
"His criticism of Senator Champion is a desperate reaction to an ad that exposes his irresponsible vote to send millions of tax dollars from hard-working Springfield families to St. Louis to fund their dome stadium," said Champion spokesman Mike Barnett.
"The ad is accurate and Harpool is trying to hide the truth that his liberal voting record is inconsistent with the values and interests of Springfield families," Barnett added.
The release says Harpool's record speaks for itself. "Harpool voted 51 times to raise taxes and fees totaling $600 million dollars. His liberal tax votes include raising gas taxes, personal property taxes without a vote from the people and sending hundreds of millions of dollars to St. Louis to build the dome," reads the release.
Meanwhile, the Harpool campaign is out with its latest DougTV ad, targeting Champion on legislation she has opposed. It's called, "She's Against It."

Why DID we help fund the stadium in St. Louis? The people of that city should've been the ones to handle their own funding.
