On November 3rd, you’ll see proposed constitutional tax caps on your ballot. "Income Tax Cap" sounds like a tax cut, but here’s what’s actually happening:
1️⃣ Amendment One: Income Tax Cap
• The Impact: It locks in constitutional tax breaks for top earners. When state revenue falls short for schools or emergency response, the bill gets passed to working families through higher sales taxes and local fees.
2️⃣ Amendment Two: Local Tax Limits
• The Impact: Restricts local flexibility to fund public schools, first responders, and local infrastructure.
