AFP Calls Out Vermont Legislature on New Tax Hikes
Montpelier, VT — As the Vermont House considers nearly $125 million in new tax increases this week, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), the nation’s premier grassroots organization, is calling out lawmakers for being completely out of touch with what Vermonters need.
AFP Northeast Region Director Ross Connolly made the following statement:
“At a time of rising costs on everything from gas to groceries, millions of dollars in tax increases is a recipe for disaster. While hardworking folks are barely scraping by, lawmakers are squeezing them for more, all while ignoring the real struggles facing Vermonters.
“Between some of the nation’s highest property taxes, the ever-present statewide housing crisis, and more preposterous tax increases introduced this week, our state is heading for disaster and our legislature’s in the drivers seat. Vermonters have had enough. It’s time to shift gears and get our state back on a path toward prosperity.”
