'It will truly make a difference for our families,' Democratic Rep. Curtis Travis, of Tuscaloosa, said.
The House Ways and Means Education Committee approved the two bills that collectively provide $82 million in income tax cuts by adjusting the lowest and highest tax brackets. The bills now move to the full House of Representatives.
“These are modest tax cuts that will not jeopardize the budget, but they are steps," Committee Chair Danny Garrett, who sponsored the legislation, said. “We're building this. We've done these over the last three or four years. So, when you add up the cumulative effect of those, it's pretty substantial.”
"It will truly make a difference for our families," Democratic Rep. Curtis Travis, of Tuscaloosa, said. Sen. Arthur Orr, who chairs the Senate Finance and Taxation Education budget-writing committee, has proposed to phase out the state sales tax on some foods, such as milk, eggs, vegetables, fruit, whole-grain breads and baby formula. The bill would remove the state sales tax on food items that are covered by the federal Women, Infants and Children nutrition program for low-income women and young children.
