Indiana's legislature is close to voting away our state's inheritance tax. As it now stands, inheritance left to a spouse or charity is wholly exempt, and leaving a million dollars to a surviving child would incur a tax rate just under 5%, hardly destroying a family's fortune, while generating $165 million in annual revenue. At a time when state programs are needed to support infrastructure, education, and business development to create new opportunities, there's no reason to stop asking the extremely wealthy to pay it forward.

Tea Party Republicans are out to cripple the Postal Service, thereby eliminating up to 200,000 good paying Postal Worker jobs. The Post Office is fully funded through the sale of stamps, but Bush-era regulations require them to fully fund pension and healthcare benefits for the next 75 years, something that Republicans would never dare to ask a corporation to do.

Create monetary incentives for companies that hire unemployment insurance exhaustees. The 99er's, as they are known, are trying desperately to survive and find jobs while having no income. They are not asking for a handout. They simply want to be restored to the work force.

The Governor's Budget includes proposals to lower taxes, but only those families who have incomes over $90,000 actually see reductions. All lower income families would see tax rate increases, making it even more difficult for these families to be financially independent.

While black Americans are buying from everyone - no one is buying from us! How long can our communities sustain this financial drain? Are you willing to help stop the madness by making your dollars make more sense?

A hotel has been proposed in downtown Gloucester that will help our economy grow. But a small group of vocal opponents wants to hold Gloucester back. It’s time to stand up to them and say, “Enough is enough.” Gloucester needs to move forward, not backward, and create jobs and a healthy economy that will give our young people a reason to stay and visitors a reason to come here. This is about Gloucester’s future. We need your help! The hotel will go on Pavilion Beach, near where an earlier hotel stood for 65 years. The new hotel will: • Attract visitors whose spending will strengthen our downtown businesses. • Create over 100 new full-time jobs. • Generate revenue for the City from Meals, Rooms, and Property Taxes that can be spent on public safety and education. That's why we created a petition to the Planning Board and City Council that says:

Governor Fallin has proposed to slash Oklahoma's top income tax rate, a move that could cost the state as much as $1 Billion. She proposes to offset these losses by eliminating tax deductions for our veterans and middle class families. This brazen proposal could leave our state in financial ruin, forcing us either to be insolvent or slash vital services.

Ok has a US patent 5,771,518 ( Total Precast Bridge manufactured in a Factory , erected in days) being delayed March 1 2005 to 1 March 2012 at OK Department of Okla, which, if allowed to be included in a US DOT GRANT for Testing, we believe, these ( Tested Total Precast Bridges manufactured in a Factory , erected in days ) with Carbon Fiber material would COST approx $56.00 per sq foot, vs the new I- 40 and 5,000 OK bridges COST Approx $98.00 per sq foot over next Gov Fallin's 8 year Plan

For far too long, Kansans have not been able to organize and really obtain living wages. Rules need to be changed ( no more of this fantasy RIGHT-TO-WORK state nonsense when there are no jobs and not enough being paid.) Practices in the state need to expand wealth, savings, jobs and investment in future and present needs--health care, environment, alternative energy, education, social services.

Tell your senator and representative to let you vote on casino-type gambling in KY. The thoroughbred industry in KY is suffering because our state government will not allow casino-type gambing at our racetracks. This is an issue that the residents of this state should be able to decide on the ballot!

Starting in June 2011 the motor vehicle administration has begun the practice of state tax collection. It is rediculious to pair the renewal of your drivers or license plates withdeliquent taxes. Thereby turning the MVA into an aggressive debt collection agency funded by our tax dollars. Furthermore there are NO known explinations of this law or any exemptions, which should be available to the public and both the comptrollers office and the MVA direct you to the other agency when you have questions.
