• My years in the legislature and Department of Revenue tell me a flat tax is not fair to all, and it is not sustainable.
  
  
• Luckily, there’s a more responsible tax plan on the table.
  
  
• This year, Gov. Kelly proposed a slate of tax cuts in her “Axing Your Taxes” plan, calling for the complete and immediate elimination of the sales tax on food, diapers and hygiene products, a four-day back-to-school tax holiday in August, and ensuring that no senior making under $100,000 pays full income tax on social security payments.
