The budget highlighted the 2022 session of the Kentucky General Assembly as it usually does in even-numbered years, but there were plenty of other bills that passed during the recently completed session that will have long-lasting effects.
Ninth District state Representative Myron Dossett of Pembroke says tax reform legislation sponsored by Representative Jason Petrie of Elkton will reduce the income tax by a half-point in January and the income tax could be eventually eliminated if revenues increase enough with a broadened sales tax base.
Eighth District Representative Walker Thomas is hopeful the elimination of the income tax can be sped up in a few years and believes it will attract Fort Campbell soldiers to live on the Kentucky side of the state line.
Local lawmakers will discuss these and several other issues Sunday morning at 9 on Lite Rock 98.7 FM and online at lite987whop.com.
