Collections were $61 million below expectations in July, August and September (combined total). Following that, the total receipts were $15 million, or almost 3 percent, below expectations in October, according to the Kansas Department of Revenue. Added up, in the first four months of the fiscal year starting in July, Kansas is now roughly $76 million under revenue expectations. The state broke out of an eight-month-long streak of missed estimates in November. But December’s lower-than-expected receipts (under $11 million) ruined hopes of the November figures (up $8 million) in which we thought was the start of a new, positive trend. Ever since 2013, the tax cuts have fallen short of creating the surge of new dollars that Brownback once boldly predicted would almost immediately flow to the state. Also, the state has been among the worst in the nation in recently in creating new nonfarm jobs, again, the opposite of what Brownback had said would happen after the tax cuts were implemented. On July 1, the statewide sales tax jumped from 6.15 percent to 6.5 percent. “The fact that sales tax revenue was below estimates, even after Republicans passed a massive sales tax increase, is an indication of just how much Kansas families are struggling under the Brownback tax plan,” said House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs, D-Kansas City. “A tax plan that is overly dependent upon a sales tax is neither

With the 2017 legislature in session, North Carolina’s government leaders worked to pass Senate Bill 325, “Billion Dollar Middle Class Tax Cut.” This republican-backed law places a cap on the personal income tax rate at 5.5 percent. Despite Governor Cooper’s veto power, the overwhelming support from the GOP supermajority overrode his mark of authority. Now, with support of the state officials, the bill must be approved by local voters through the referendum process, as the law plans to amend the constitution. While the elected legislators are in favor of this change, the people of North Carolina are now in charge. It is up to Governor Cooper and the North Carolina legislators to campaign the referendum and gain support from state voters.

This Proposition had a great impact as it swept the county and made headlines in newspapers around the world. People used this initiative process to gain a greater control over their lives.

This new tax policy could help relieve the burden of disabled veterans who had given so much to this country or help their spouses through no fault of their own lost someone they had loved. I also believe that this would be beneficial for Gov. Roy Cooper through at least a positive image stance, due to the large number of veterans who live within the state. All considered, I believe this to be an extremely beneficial policy that should be

As Rinaldi stated in his article that local control “poses a bigger risk of enacting laws that infringe on individual rights,” which creates some concern that liberty has taken the proverbial backburner in society. 2 Rinaldi states that when local control supporters agree with a state law restricting municipal authority, local control doesn’t seem to be an issue anymore. The in favor opposition creates a compelling argument that local control is the voice of the people and more policy development transpires through this level of government. In very recent media coverage it was made known that local government took a stance on fracking and its’ effects on the reoccurring earthquakes. 3 Unfortunately, the state senate passed a bill that will basically dissipate local control over oil and gas industry activities (White). Many people are upset by this, but the solution is as a voter, pay close attention to the Texas representative and senator and how they voted. 4 Voters can make a difference in this
