Why we checked itClaims that Lamont made a specific promise not to raise taxes and then broke it — both the promise and the tax increases are verifiable against the public record.
What we foundLamont did promise to hold the line on taxes and did raise some taxes, but he also enacted significant tax cuts; the claim omits that the net picture is genuinely mixed rather than a straightforward overall increase.
