  Debate over income tax repeal grows   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Howell says the ballot question gives voters a chance to act as their own Robin Hood, snatching $9 billion from an overfed state bureaucracy and returning it, $3,000 at a time, to millions of fellow taxpayers, as well as themselves.
Howell says state government will still be swimming in cash if the income tax is repealed, thanks to other taxes and fees, including the 5 percent sales tax and levies on business earnings, cigarettes and gasoline.
If any part of Howell's message gives her opponents ammunition, it is her willingness to attack such sacred cows as the state's school system, which has received billions in increased funding in recent years and avoided significant cuts during this year's budget debate.

 Election 02:Libertarian Howell could be a spoiler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In her third run for public office, 47-year-old Carla Howell has created division among liberals and conservatives alike-and she could end up being the wild card that draws enough votes away from either of the major political parties to determine the election's final outcome.
But her goal, Howell says, is not only to shape public debate but also to declare an upset victory and to redefine the role of government.
Even as Howell promises to represent "self-respecting men and women who simply want equal treatment under the law," her political views and rhetoric are sometimes symbolic of that used by the right-wing.

 Guest Comment on NRO
Libertarian Carla Howell stunned many when she garnered more than 12 percent of the vote in a U.S. Senate race last November, trailing far behind Ted Kennedy but nearly beating beleaguered Republican candidate Jack E. Robinson.
During an interview in her hometown of Wayland, a suburb west of Boston, Howell said: "The growth of the Libertarian party is a very significant trend in the state.
For Howell, that Republican decline is evidenced not just by the party's embarrassingly small representation in the state legislature, where the GOP holds less than 20 percent of seats, but also by Republican leaders' willingness to rubber-stamp the gargantuan budgets pushed through by Democrats.

But Carla Howell, the Libertarian Party's candidate for the US Senate seat held by Ted Kennedy, works the room as though it held the key to the election, mixing observations about how she got involved in politics with her decidedly provocative views on the issues.
And she is the titular head of what is, under state law, a major party, by virtue of having won 5.3 percent of the vote in her 1998 campaign for state auditor, nearly double the three percent needed.
To date, the media have neither ignored Howell completely nor given her anywhere near the sort of heavy coverage afforded Mitt Romney, a Republican businessman who in 1994 actually led Kennedy in the polls for a while before fading badly at the end.

 Is Jefferson Smith Just a Myth? Part Two of Three by Steve Trinward
Howell is also behind an initiative petition to eliminate the state's income tax, and has successfully attained the first step to putting the repeal issue (which she and Cloud have titled the "Small Government Act") on the November ballot.
Clearly, from both a practical level and from the standpoint of teamwork, Carla Howell has chosen to shun the support and participation of her fellow Libertarians, as well as the many groups which spearheaded such tax reform measures as Proposition 2-1/2 and the recent state tax surcharge repeal.

 Greater Boston: Election 2002 Campaign Journal Sept. 26
Libertarian candidate for governor Carla Howell is sly as a Fox News Channel promo.
Howell cried foul when the media consortium called her on her gambit; she quickly whipped up her supporters by claiming she had been “disinvited,” thereby unleashing a torrent of e-mails and phone calls.
Part of Howell’s pitch for inclusion in the debate is her assertion that “we’re already at 40% in the polls.” That claim is based on a Boston Globe poll that asked potential voters their opinion of Question 1, which would eliminate the state income tax and was placed on the November ballot by the Libertarians.
