Since 1996 RI's wealthiest citizens have gotten four tax breaks. The intent of this was to help create jobs and stimulate our economy. It didn't work. These tax bills (H-5751 and S-527) raise the income tax rate by 2% for people making over $250,000 a year. These increased funds will help RI educate the population so there is a good pool of workers for prospective employers and build a stronger infrastructure. Attached are some resources to help you learn more about this important topic and get involved in the campaign. Here is a link to the Take Action page. Check the State House Watch for updates on hearings and actions.
