Mike Dunleavy on Tax Reform

 

 


Any new broad-base tax must be approved by Alaska people

Creating generational opportunities starts with getting our fiscal house in order. First, we must implement a spending cap that works--that causes government to pass budgets it can afford. Second, any new, broad-based tax must be approved by the Alaskan people. We must ensure the people are partners in any taxation and spending plan going forward. Finally, we must guarantee there is a dividend for future generations and that the Earnings Reserve and integrity of the fund is protected forever.

No change in taxes without a vote of the People

I will introduce three constitutional amendments, which will be the foundation of a permanent fiscal plan. If we wish to win the People's trust, we must trust the People. This fiscal plan is empowered by the People, for the People:
  1. First, a spending limit and savings plan that will keep politicians from spending every penny we have, one that allows us to save excess revenue when possible for future Alaskans.
  2. Second, there should be no change to the PFD without a vote of the people.
  3. The third constitutional amendment will call for no change in taxes without a vote of the People.
These three constitutional amendments will require that both the people of Alaska and their elected officials work closely together to secure our future. The People are the key to a permanent fiscal plan. Without the People's support, any plan put in place by the Legislature will always be in doubt.
