2022 AL Governor's race: on Tax Reform


Lynda Blanchard: Slovenians can't live with 50% taxes, we don't want that

Living in Slovenia where the taxes are 50 percent, "They can't get into see a doctor. If 50 percent is going to the government there is nothing left to live on. That is what we don't want."

Tim James: Repeal 2019 gas tax, eliminate grocery sales tax

We will work to repeal the gas tax passed in 2019 and to eliminate the sales tax on essential groceries. We must never tolerate misuse of hard-earned taxpayer money, nor tolerate under-performance by any office or division of the State of Alabama. We need to make state government leaner and more efficient from top to bottom and to deliver tax relief for the working families of Alabama.
