Will RI Be Beaten to the Sales Tax Reduction Punch?

Uh-oh, Rhode Island.  Maybe we should get on the ball and move along a big sales tax reduction.  Here’s what’s happening in Massachusetts:

There may be a major tax cut competing with the significant tax increase that’s already being prepared for the 2018 ballot in Massachusetts. …

A poll conducted for the retailers association in November by Princeton Research Associates reminded respondents that the so-called millionaire’s tax may be headed for next year’s ballot. Seventy-nine percent of those respondents said they support reducing the sales tax to about 4 percent or 4.5 percent to make the tax system fairer and to support local retailers. In the poll, 66 percent said they believe the “proper sales tax range” for Massachusetts would between 4 percent and 4.5 percent.

Let’s get down to 3% this year and watch our economy boom.  I’ll even let Governor Raimondo take some of the credit.  (Some.)
