Tennesseans for Fair Taxation is Fighting for Justice and Revenue in Tennessee!

IIn September, members from all across the state gathered at the TFT 2012 Annual Meeting to discuss which of the many fiscal inequities in Tennessee's tax system to conquer. In the end we settled on 3 key issues:

1. Preventing a constitutional ban on an income tax
2. Working with the Governor for a streamlined internet sales tax
3. Asking for accountability and transparency for corporate give aways

We are really excited about these three areas of focus and hope that you are to. Look forward to hearing more from us about how you can join the fight for progressive taxation in Tennessee. Of course, your question, comments and concerns are always welcome.
