Dale Folwell on Welfare & Poverty

 

 


$5000 first-time homebuyer credit is unconstitutional

[Gubernatorial candidate] Bill Graham [says], "First-time homebuyers would get a $5,000 credit on their state income taxes over two years. Only people who have lived in NC for at least three years would qualify."

Graham's tax credit plan would require the legislature to pass a bill changing the tax code -- something Folwell was quick to point out when asked about the proposal. "I hope that Bill Graham has read the North Carolina constitution," he said. "That would clearly point out that he would not have the ability as the governor to do such a thing."

Folwell said a tax credit wouldn't fully solve a housing affordability problem that's closely tied to other economic challenges, like inflation and the cost of childcare.
