The John Locke Foundation offered North Carolina’s new Republican administration and the GOP-led General Assembly this week a new proposal for tax reform in the Tar Heel State. The USA Tax plan would replace most of North Carolina’s existing taxes with a new consumed-income tax. JLF Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar Roy Cordato details the plan in the new book First In Freedom: Transforming Ideas Into Consequences for North Carolina. Cordato hit the highlights in a column published this week in the Fayetteville Observer. He also discussed the plan during radio interviews with Lockwood Phillips on WTKF and Matt Mittan on WZGM/WHKP.
Director of Communications Mitch Kokai also discussed the USA Tax plan in radio interviews with Bill Flynn on WEGO and Henry Hinton on WTIB. The topic is likely to come up this afternoon when Kokai joins Frank Stasio for a news roundup program on WUNC’s “The State of Things.”
N.C. Senate Republicans highlighted in their daily press emails both the USA Tax plan and JLF President John Hood‘s column answering frequently asked questions about the plan.
