Gov. Jim Pillen made a personal pitch for key pieces of his tax package at a series of public hearings Wednesday and Thursday.
Appearing before the Revenue Committee, the first-year governor argued for bills cutting the state’s top individual and corporate income tax rates, capping the growth of school revenues and replacing community colleges’ property tax revenues with state dollars.
Pillen described the measures, introduced on his behalf, as part of a package that achieves education reform, funding reform and tax policy reform. He also committed to working with lawmakers on crafting something that works.
