This approach would 1) End unfair state tax burdens on low and moderate income tax payers.o Reduce tax loopholes used by the wealthiest taxpayers, o Ensure a fair distribution of the combined state/local tax rate across all income groups. o Reduce taxes and fees that fall heavily on low and moderate income taxpayers. 2) Adequately fund vital services that are essential for healthy communities, includingo education o health care o public health o fire, police o hospitals o affordable housing o the social safety net o job training o transportation o environmental protection Inadequate state support for these services harms our communities and costs us more in local property taxes, fees, and costly damage to health and the environment. |
