Taxpayer's Alliance mismatch edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Did the Taxpayers' Alliance really support the first National Day of Action for Open Access? Seems unlikely as the Taxpayers' Alliance is a British right-wing low tax pressure group. I followed the citation and there appears to be a link to a group called "Taxpayer Access" but the link is broken. I think it's a simple case of mistaken identity but can't confirm for sure.

Thanks for checking. It was the Alliance for Taxpayer Access. Fixed. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 14:31, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
