Taxes are becoming unbearable in Vermont for average workers and particularly retirees.

Governor Inslee and the House Democrats recently released a plan to help fund our kids' classrooms by closing unjust tax loopholes. Their plan would end tax breaks for Big Oil, out-of-state-shoppers, and big drug companies. This is a commonsense reform that's long overdue. Unfortunately, Senate Republicans cut funding for homeless kids, working families, and our most vulnerable seniors. But their budget was even more noteworthy for what it didn't do: they didn't close a single tax loophole. We know kids that are hungry, sick, or homeless can't learn. But special interest lobbyists are already gearing up to protect their special treatment by forcing legislators to choose between education and health care. We need our Senators to join the House and Governor Inslee standing up to special interests and putting our kids first!

Please put Georgians to work. Stop being partisan and realize that you govern all people

We should not pay for fuel efficiency. The polluters should pay

When a person falls behind in child support, their drivers license is suspended, which can result in job opportunities being lost. In our current economy, with so many out of work and unable to pay child support, the pool of workers keeps dropping due to those otherwise qualified individuals not having drivers licenses. Additionally, each time they have to reinstate their drivers license, the state imposes an ever larger "fee" to do so. Eventually, they are never going to get a drivers license simply because it is too expensive.

The Congress is at best inept, or has been willfully negligent in keeping the minimum wage up with inflation. We are DECADES behind in this and MANY in our country are poverty stricken and as a result. Immediate action is required in this poor economy, yet none is being taken. Only the usual phoney "we should do something about this" propaganda we always get from politicians.

Governor Pence proposes a 10% state income tax reduction to dole out our state tax surplus. This would only have a small impact on the state economy and the pockets of the average Hoosier (in most cases, $50-250). Those funds would be much better spent on education, which suffered serious loss of revenue as a result of property tax caps enacted under Governor Daniels. Our roads are also in poor condition. I applaud the Indiana House Republicans to have the courage to want to support education and our infrastructure instead of political pandering.
