legislators to protect children and families!
Urge your legislators
today to support a fair budget that will:

personal income tax to 5% to create a more consistent revenue
source to support health care, human services and education;
2. Protect low
and moderate-income families with an increase in the state
earned income tax credit (EITC); and
3. Expand and
update the state sales tax base to capture additional revenue
from services.
