Eliminate litter tax, a big nuisance for small business

Did you know that businesses across our state are required to pay a so-called litter tax? Here's the kicker--the fees collected from this tax don't even go towards cleaning up litter, and paying this tax is a big nuisance for small businesses. We need to improve our small business climate by doing away with fees like this. Let's not only eliminate this tax, but let's also fund an initiative to tackle the litter on our streets, beaches and recreational areas.

With one of the largest surpluses in the history of our state we provided over $120 million in tax relief to Rhode Islanders. As part of that relief, 110,000 child tax rebate checks went out to parents. Rhode Islanders no longer have to be burdened by a car tax bill in their mailboxes because we eliminated it. Our seniors received an additional $4 million in property tax relief. Veterans no longer have to pay the state tax on their military service pensions because we ended that tax for good.
