Handley advocates tax reform and earmarked revenue
Handley argues a 3 percent sales tax would match current gross income tax revenue but is repeatedly rejected for hurting low income citizens. He cites potential $144 million from a universal tax or $114 million if food is exempt, notes gross income tax pays about 35 percent of state bills, and calls for reforms per the Indiana Tax Study Commission. He opposes untargeted tax increases and favors gas tax funds for highways. The 1957 Legislature faces revenue pressures from highways, schools, and road expansion and will proceed cautiously.
