Senate approves income tax indexing measure amid budget concerns
Senate votes 221 to 0 to send a tax indexing bill to the Assembly. Carpenter argues indexing inflated the state tax bite and hurts purchasing power while critics warn it may spark a budget clash and shift relief to property taxes. Supporters claim it funds future school financing and targeted relief amid revenue impacts of about 250 million dollars in year one and more in year two.
