New state tax group launched

[steven]

A new group has been formed to fight against "ruinous" state and local taxation policies.

The New York State Taxpayers Union said it selected Tuesday, May 9, to announce its formation because that was "tax freedom" day in New York. It is the day when, on average, New Yorkers have to work till before they pay their combined federal, state and local tax bill for the year.

The New York State Taxpayers Union said it will represent the interests of average taxpayers in Albany against special interests that are seeking additional state spending for a variety of purposes.

Matthew Guilbault, formerly of the National Federation of Independent Business-New York in Albany, is executive director of the new group.

I'm relatively new to the area so excuse my ignorance.

Any information as to the reputation of Matthew Guilbault? Does this new group seem to be legitimate? Worthly of donations?
