My quality of life as a Utah taxpayer would not improve significantly with an extra “$200-$300 at the end of 2020” as described in news coverage of the proposed state tax cut.
What genuinely will improve my life will be to have my state cease being dead-last, year after year, in public education funding.
My life will be better when I see realistic public policies and budgets dedicated to cleaner air and water.
Or how about properly funding mental health services, drug rehab programs, job training, affordable housing and health care to realistically and responsibly deal with our homeless population?
These things would genuinely improve our great state for decades to come, and I’m happy to pay for them with my taxes.
