In week four of the legislative session, Democrats plan to introduce a state income tax.
Their initial proposal will target high earners. But a House Democrat leader has already admitted that, if passed, a state income tax will likely apply to everyone by 2030.
On Monday, there’s an executive session for House Bill 1239 in the House Community Safety Committee. This would allow for the early release of criminals, including violent offenders.
Another bill to watch this week is House Bill 2489. This proposal would prohibit local governments from removing dangerous homeless encampments.
These encampments pose serious risks to public health and the environment, and they are often hotspots for crime. Local governments need to be able to address these situations compassionately and responsibly. Allowing people to remain indefinitely in unsafe public spaces is not a compassionate solution.
We can’t stop these bad bills without you. That’s why it’s so important to visit our website and learn how you can get involved.
