Issue Position

For decades, Kentucky has been languishing behind surrounding states while waiting for true, comprehensive tax reform that is fair, just, and balanced. Taxes are how we work together to invest in the foundations of thriving communities. By cleaning up costly, ineffective tax breaks, we can create a Kentucky that works for all of us. More resources will allow us to reinvest in our schools, provide adequate community services, upgrade our infrastructure and more.

While maintaining legitimate exceptions to the state sales tax for essential items like groceries and prescription medications, we should eliminate other exemptions that drain revenue from the General Fund without achieving critical policy goals.
