Taxpayer Caucus Introduces Budget Revenue Plan
The plan is designed to prevent any impacts on jobs, services or agencies while making use of money already collected from taxpayers.

It also does not compromise one state service, close one agency, or cost one person his or her job. Our residents cannot afford tax increases, period. Other ideas being advanced by the House include further privatization of liquor sales and an expansion of gaming opportunities.
