Hearing tomorrow for our Kentucky Forward Revenue Plan!
-- Shekinah Lavalle, Economic Justice Committee member
Tomorrow, our Kentucky Forward Revenue Plan (HB 318) will have a hearing in House Appropriations and Revenue Committee for the first time since the House's shift in leadership.
We all want a strong commonwealth. Good schools with reasonable class sizes, quality health care, and neighborhoods and communities that are protected, safe, and healthy. But to move Kentucky forward, our elected leaders need to start getting serious about choosing solutions. The Kentucky Forward Revenue Plan is a solution. It would help move Kentucky forward by creating a more balanced tax structure that generates substantial revenue.
Several legislators on the A and R Committee are new to that committee and to the bill, and getting their support for the bill and the principles it stands behind--fairness, adequacy, and sustainability--will be an important step toward building support for the bill.
