Tax Fairness: Investing in the Common Good

Tax cuts made by the Minnesota State Legislature earlier in this decade reduced the tax rate for the highest income residents to below that of all other income groups. Since then state deficits have become a common occurrence with corresponding cuts to programs that provide basic services and a path out of poverty to our lowest income neighbors. CHUM has joined with Joint Religious Legislative Coalition (JRLC) and other organizations to work for a fairer tax structure and for a reinvestment of public resources to meet the needs of those seeking to escape the ravages of poverty.
