She was frail but in good spirits.<\/p>\n<p>Barbara was always a friend to The Coalition of NH Taxpayers. She agreed to be a speaker at our first taxpayer cookout and brought with her the hard earned street cred of a seasoned fighter for taxpayers. Her ability to more than hold her own in any debate with some of Massachusetts\u2019s most liberal activists and politicians gave our small organization a format to follow. It would be tough to match her many accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>She was \u201cThe Mother of Proposition 2\u00bd\u201d and a permanent foe of temporary income taxes in Massachusetts. And I loved her idea that all Ma. legislators should be required to take a bus to NH so they can watch our Citizen Legislature operate.<\/p>\n<p>I will miss Barbara and the strength she exhibited throughout her many battles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/news\/local_coverage\/2016\/04\/longtime_taxpayer_advocate_barbara_anderson_dies_at_73\" target=\"_new\">Boston Herald<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/metro\/2016\/04\/09\/barbara-anderson-voice-limited-taxation-massachusetts-dies\/FdITICwwo6OVFzEXhB1nkL\/story.html\" target=\"_new\">Boston Globe<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/news\/local_politics\/2016\/04\/barbara_anderson_73_honored_by_friends_foes\" target=\"_new\">Boston Herald<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Ed Naile Taxpayer champion Barbara Anderson of Citizens for Limited Taxation in Massachusetts has passed, April 8, from a form of Leukemia, which she has been battling for some time.
