Lappin Proposes Alternatives to Chafee Income Tax
Rep. William J. Lappin of Burrillville outlines revenue options for Rhode Island to fund state needs without an income tax. He backs an eight tenths of 1 percent intangible personal property tax plus changes to pari mutuel and banking taxes, insurance levies, vending machine fees, and cigarette machine licenses. He argues these measures are more equitable and could avoid a heavy income tax hit on citizens.
