Initiative 1098

We support Initiative 1098 based on the League's position on tax structures which states: "Inequities in the distribution of the tax burden should be removed. Ability to pay is an important criterion. Flexibility and recognition of changing times and needs is important in tax policy. Income should be part of the tax base preferably through a graduated net income tax." For information on how you can help go to Yes on 1098
