2024 NC Governor's race: on Tax Reform
Dale Folwell:
Supported tax cuts putting state employees out of work
Local Republican representatives said they support the House budget, preferring cuts--even painful ones--to a tax increase or continuation of the penny tax. "We're not going to put people back to work raising taxes," said state Rep. Dale Folwell.
But Folwell acknowledged that the House budget would put many state employees out of work. "The job creation of this state has to come from private industry, and not from government," he said.

Mark Robinson:
Lower taxes for everyone, not just corporate incentives
While Robinson confirmed that his full platform would be released sometime in the near future, he did touch on a few issues during his speech that offers a framework for his positions.
He discussed taxes and opined that the state needs to lower taxes for "everyone," not just as incentives for corporations coming to the state.

Andy Wells:
Don't derail cuts to corporate and individual income tax
On announcing for governor: "We're bringing in a lot of people into in North Carolina. We are well positioned for the future, but we've got to be in a position to deal with the future," Wells said. Making government more efficient--not derailing recent
actions by the Republican-controlled General Assembly to reduce corporate and individual income tax rates--is one way to put the state on stronger footing, he added.

Michael Morgan:
Upheld sales tax on in-state sales fulfilled from Wisconsin
Wisconsin-based printing company Quad Graphics sued the Department of Revenue after it levied sales taxes on orders sold by its North Carolina salesperson to a company based in North Carolina, even though the order was fulfilled and shipped in
Wisconsin. A Supreme Court opinion authored by Morgan overturns a ruling that found that Quad doesn't owe taxes on such sales. "We uphold North Carolina's tax because petitioner's activities have a substantial nexus with North Carolina," Morgan wrote.

Josh Stein:
$520 tax cut for every average working family
Stein said he is proposing the working families tax cut, which would reinstate the State Earned Income Tax Credit. It was eliminated in 2014, according to information from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
It is different from the federal earned income tax credit, which families still can claim.Stein's office estimates the average working family could receive more than
$520 if the proposed plan is put in place, and families with three or more children could see as much as $1,486 back in their pockets from the tax credit.
"It's all about putting more money into the pockets of working people, raising children out of poverty and stimulating local economies," Stein said.

Josh Stein:
Cut taxes for working families
I believe in the promise of this state that if you work hard, where you come from should not limit how far you can go. I am running for Governor to deliver on that promise by investing
in our people and their futures and building a state with a thriving economy, safe communities, and strong schools. As Governor, I will work to deliver the economic security and peace of mind that every
North Carolinian deserves by lowering costs, raising the minimum wage, and cutting taxes for working families. I will work to build safe communities by confronting the fentanyl crisis
and recruiting and retaining well-trained, public-spirited law enforcement officers. And I will recommit our state to investing in our public schools.
