TCS MOURNS THE PASSING OF JOHN BERTHOUD
Taxpayers across the country lost a great friend and strong ally last week when John Berthoud, President of National Taxpayers Union and National Taxpayers Union Foundation passed away. His powerful intellect, keen insight, dedication and political acumen was only eclipsed by his warm, loyal and friendly nature. Berthoud fit the classic mold of an individual that passionately fights for their ideas but befriends all. Taxpayers for Common Sense mourns a fellow budget warrior and great friend as well.
Jill Lancelot, Senior Advisor and Co-founder of TCS and a long-time friend and former co-worker of Berthoud's at NTU observed "I was shocked and saddened to hear of John’s untimely passing. John pursued all of his endeavors with compassion and integrity. He fought capably for his ideals while at the same time maintaining friendly relationships with people from all corners of the political and ideological spectrum. He will be sorely missed.” |
