Tax cut proposal to benefit wealthiest Georgians, jeopardize funding for schools, roads and more

EducationAtRisk

Twin income tax cut proposals that promise a big tax break for wealthy Georgians and little for everyone else are careening toward legislative approval this month. If enacted, House Bill 238 and Senate Resolution 756 will stymie Georgia’s investment in quality public schools, hospitals, services for children and seniors, and more for years to come.

The proposed tax cut package could drain hundreds of millions of dollars annually from Georgia’s treasury, threatening vital state investment in public schools, universities and more. It hands a big tax break to a small sliver of wealthy Georgians while providing only a few extra dollars a month to hardworking middle class families. All members of the Georgia General Assembly can vote to decide if these proposals advance.
