Kentucky Forward Bill filed

Learn more about the our proposed tax legislation, the Kentucky Forward Bill here.

We've been hearing a lot about Kentucky's budget problems.  The cuts to higher education, the lack of resources for family services, and a "tightening of the belt" that threatens to further compromise our already chronically-underfunded schools, health care services, and public safety systems.  KFTC imagines a better future for Kentucky, a way to move Kentucky Forward.

Rep. Jim Wayne has filed the Kentucky Forward Bill, a bill that would raise about $400 million in revenue a year, while making the tax system fairer for low- and moderate-income families.  It is supported by KFTC and our partners in the Kentucky Economic Justice Alliance, along with a growing number of organizations that have joined KEJA's Kentucky Forward Coalition. 

If you're interested in supporting fair and sensible taxes that help move Kentucky forward, come join us in Frankfort!
