With heavy hearts, Taxpayers for Common Sense mourns the passing of Jay McAllister, member and Treasurer of our Board of Directors, who passed away this weekend. Jay joined us in 2010, diving in with enthusiasm and leadership. He was quick to provide inspiration and encouragement to staff, kind and generous in his words and actions. He provided support of all kinds to the organization and shared our vision of a more accountable, better-aligned government that does what it needs to do – and of a TCS equipped to meet the challenge. Jay’s son, Hoitt, was an intern at TCS the summer of 2011. Our thoughts are with his wonderful family. We are grateful that you shared some of his time with us.
