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.

Allow all local governments to move away from property taxes to sales and income taxes as a fairer tax structure. Taxing perceived wealth is old an antiquated tax structure. Its time local governments tax structure are updated to the 21st century. HB 2230 will allow every county in Pennsylvania to have a referendum question for a 1% county sales tax to reduce school district millage rates. It will also allow every local government entity, from county to school district to levy their own Earned Income Tax (EIT) or Personal Income Tax (PIT) to provide a minimum 30% reduction in their property tax millage rates to complete elimination. If a local government decides to do reduce property tax millage rates, then their rates are frozen at the level and they can raise their income tax rates based on inflation. For school districts, they will be locked into Act 1 of Special Session of 2001. This is a comprehensive approach to ending the property tax system and moving local governments to a fair and transparent taxing system. No tax should have the ability to make you homelsess!

The proposed reduction of state income tax sounds great but once one reads the details it is not going to benefit any retirees which includes state, federal and military personnel. There is going to be lost revenue due to reduced tax rates and in order to recoup that revenue all "loopholes" in the form of all credits, deductions, and exclusions on personal income tax returns will be eliminated. Presently, most retirees have no state tax liability for retirement benefits and federal taxable social security income. The result of this legislation will cause immediate taxation of all retirement income for all retirees effective 1 Jan 2013.
