Otter: ‘Reducing tax burden’
Gov. Otter has specifically singled out Rep. Marv Hagedorn, R-Meridian, saying he's proposing phased-in tax-cutting legislation that Otter thinks lawmakers should "seriously consider." "His bill would equalize and then gradually reduce our marginal state income tax rates for individuals and businesses over ten years, starting in 2013," Otter said. "But whether it's that bill or an alternative, we need a long-term plan for reducing the tax burden on our citizens."
