David Van Os On Tax Reform Plans
By Vince Leibowitz on Apr 6, 2006 in Texas Public Policy & Taxation
After the post I made a couple of days ago about AG Gregg Abbott being asked to review the Texas Tax Reform Commission’s proposals to ensure their constitutionality, I contacted Democratic AG candidate David Van Os and asked if he had anything to say on any of those topics. Here are his thoughts:
“The Sharp-Perry plan is another band-aid for a system that needs a heart and lung transplant. Every few years, the Texas legislature adds some more taxes on working people and small business owners to try to shore up the budget without addressing fundamental problems. We the people of Texas have a Constitution that guarantees us an efficient system of free public schools so that we will live in an educated and enlightened society. The inequities, imbalances, and inefficiencies in the system need real solutions, not temporary rearrangements.”
David will be in lots of places in East Texas this week, so go out and see him!
