WHY CHANGE KENTUCKY'S TAX LAWS? For Fairness, Adequacy, Flexibility and Accountability. Please join us.
The Women's Network is now focused on the need to change Kentucky's tax laws. The Network received recommendations from its Commonwealth Policy Institute in November 2011 on restructuring these laws.
In response, a TAX REFORM TOOL KIT has been developed for Network members to educate the public on the need for change. Please find in this kit:
• layout for an informative card (front & back) that can be printed on Avery Postal/Index card #8577

• reasons document with fuller paragraph explanations for the recommendations.
This document can be distributed at Network meetings and carried to Blue Ribbon Commission meetings.
• facts document with pertinent facts behind Institute recommendations
This document can be distributed at Network meetings and carried to Blue Ribbon Commission meetings.
