The Taxpayers' League is at http://www.taxpayersleague.org and they have a "contact" link on the left hand side of their home page. I was surprised to see that there's been a bit of upheaval at the League. Linda Runbeck was formerly identified as President of the organization and is now shown as Vice President. Strom is now serving as President and was formerly their "Legislative Director." Strom is a clever demagogue who's able to turn a good phrase but he can't sustain his arguments. (I called him on a few outlandish claims he made regarding special education a few years back and he just scuttled away to whine about something else.) And, as others have noted, he has a penchant for engaging in class warfare when "protecting the middle class taxpayer." It's ironic since the Taxpayers League is largely financed by a handful of wealthy Republicans ... and that's who really calls the League's agenda.
