On Tax Reform: Eliminate the state cell phone tax, expand property rebates

He'll eliminate the state cell phone tax--specifically, the gross receipt and sales tax on cell phone service.

Lastly, Josh will lower household costs by expanding the Property Tax and Rent Rebate program, increasing the maximum rebate to $1,000 and making the program available to over 275,000 more eligible people.
