Jen Tooker on Tax Reform

 

 


Would love to cut taxes but needs to make sure math works

In 2023 Gov. Ned Lamont signed a reduction in the income tax. The middle-class rate went from five percent down to 4.5 percent and the lower-class rate fell from three percent down to two percent.

Should those taxes be slashed further?

"I'd love to," said Tooker.

But she cautions that the income tax represents "50 to 55 percent" of the revenue.

"I need to make sure the math works," she explained.
