Tax cut plan eyed to attract investment and grow state economy
Sanford argues lowering income taxes draws capital and spurs growth, projecting $100 million extra revenue from a 2 percent growth rule. The proposal would cost $62 million annually, with individual savings rising over a decade. Wilkins and Harrell support using the boost to attract high earners, while critics call it a political payoff and warn on property tax priorities.
