Invest in Our Communities

We need to invest in our communities and keep middle-class families working and earning! By allowing us to invest in education, innovation and infrastructure, The Act to Invest in Our Communities proposal builds on our state's strengths, making life better for our families today and into the future. By asking more from high income households and investors who received large windfalls from the Bush tax cuts, while raising the personal exemption as a way to hold down the tax increase for middle-class families, the bill raises needed revenue primarily from those who can best afford to pay. With that revenue, we can keep the quality schools and services that make our state a good place to live and do business.
