    Public Hearing on Proposed Tax Increases on May 11th

    Public Hearing on Proposed Tax Increases on May 11th

    In case you missed it, majority party Democrats who control the legislature’s committees on Finance and Appropriations have produced a budget proposal that would expand the state’s sales tax and increase income taxes in a way that would hurt middle class families and employers.

    The plan also relies upon a radical interpretation of the Constitutional Spending Cap to help them accomplish their priorities.

    Among my concerns about the majority party plan is that residents haven’t had a chance to offer comments about how these proposed tax increases would impact them, their business, or their employer.

    Republican members of the Finance Committee will hold a public hearing on the bill Monday, May 11.
