Representative Alex Burton wants IN legislature to refocus priorities
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Indiana State Representative Alex Burton is, again, speaking against the recently passed tax plan by the Indiana Republican supermajority.
In an editorial for 'Inside Indiana Business,' the Evansville Democrat knocked the GOP for touting a $100 property tax savings and a universal voucher program, when the state has a projected $2.4 billion revenue shortfall. He said the legislature should instead focus on affordable housing and strengthening Indiana's PreK-12 public school system. In addition, he called for 'practical tax relief' such as a larger earned income tax credit and increased support for renters.
