Issue Position: Taxes

Issue Position

We are fortunate to live in a state that has kept taxes low. However, it is important to stay vigilant. We must continue to restrain government spending and leave more money in the hands of the people who earn it.

For ten years, I've owned rental properties in the Knoxville area. Almost every year, I meet someone moving here from Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, or some similar state. The reason for moving is universal, they can't afford to live there anymore. We don't want TN to end up like these states where businesses and people are leaving due to over taxation. I love where I live and will do all I can to keep taxes low so we can continue to enjoy our standard of living.
