To: The North Carolina State House and Governor Roy Cooper
Reject permanent austerity for NC that locks in tax breaks for millionaires
We, the undersigned, demand North Carolina leaders reject SB 75 and its proposed changes to the state Constitution that would put in place arbitrary and ineffective restrictions on spending and tax decisions. These policies are proven failures and will undercut N.C.'s ability to invest in the schools, universities, health care and other public services that support a strong economy.
Why is this important?
North Carolina is currently struggling to make sure every child has a textbook, every working person has access to affordable healthcare, and that every older North Carolinian can get support for their health and nutritional needs, but there isn’t enough money to go around.
The North Carolina Senate wants to make this state of affairs permanent.
They have passed a proposal to cap the state income tax rate in the state Constitution so that they can continue to give millionaires a tax break, while our communities struggle to meet basic needs.
We need your signature to tell the House that regular North Carolinians reject this approach to fiscal austerity, and they must do the same.
