Mark your calendars for our first meeting in the 2019 calendar year on February 14 from 10 to noon, followed by a networking lunch. The agenda for this meeting features Nick Johnson, Senior Vice President for State Fiscal Policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Nick is going to discuss their recently released paper on “Advancing Racial Equity With State Tax Policy.” This paper provides both some historical context as well as prospective recommendations for using tax policy to enhance social equity. Tax policy and economic incentives are probably some of the best tools available to policy-makers to address social inequity and we hope to feature more topics on this issue.
