We're off to a slow start, and there was actually more action in bills trickling in than in existing ones being dealt with.
THE GOOD: SB 262 by Sen. Jack Donahue would provide tax credits to assist educational improvement (HB 633, HB 634, and SB 259 are similar bills to HB 309).
THE BAD: HB 600 by Rep. Damon Baldone would make state income tax less proportional; HB 622 by Rep. Michael Jackson would create a local government for the express purpose of raising property taxes for public transportation; HB 623 by Jackson would create a local government for the express purpose of raising sales taxes for public transportation; HB 630 by Rep. Harold Ritchie would increase taxes by reducing deductible items.
THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 25 was withdrawn; HB 426 with minor amendment passed House committee; HB 537 passed House committee; HB 549 with minor amendment passed House committee and passed the House; HB 586 passed House committee was substituted for by HB 636.
THIS WEEK FOR THE BAD: SB 8 was withdrawn; SB 69 passed House committee and the House.
