Help decide the future of Kentucky's tax system

Kentuckians deserve investments in good jobs, clean air and water, quality educations, and healthy, vibrant communities. This Kentucky is possible, but we need to reform our state tax system.

And this summer may well be our best opportunity in the last decade to push forward tax reforms that improve our quality of life. Right now, Kentucky's Blue Ribbon Commission on Tax Reform is getting ready to hold Public Meetings across the state. Everyday Kentuckians are invited to share their best ideas about needed state tax reforms--ideas that will shape the Commission's recommendations for the 2013 General Assembly. The first of these meetings is in Paducah on May 29.

This is an chance that KFTC members won't pass up! Visit our Action Toolkit page to take action now, and to learn about upcoming opportunities, including:

• Webinars to help members prepare and workshop statements to deliver about what Kentucky deserves, and how we can best pay for it. We're offering webinars on May 23rd and June 14, and another in July, all at 7:30pm EDT. We'll work with you to develop and refine statements that you can submit through the commission's website, in your local paper, or at the public meeting nearest you. To participate in our first webinar just dial-in 1-866-740-1260 and enter access code 8931147#. Then log into the online portion of the seminar by going to www.readytalk.com and enter access code 8931147 into the box that says "Participant: Join a Conference."
