Nevada Taxpayers
Association's
Recommendations for a
sound fiscal policy
Members of the
Nevada Legislature got a gentle reminder March 9 that their
collective history of ignoring the business cycle means
chronic hardship for Nevada taxpayers. At the very time that
taxpayers' income is reduced or stagnant, Silver State
taxpayers are "often asked to contribute more to maintain
government budgets; yet, when their income is improving, they
do not see any attempt to reduce their tax liability," wrote
NTA President Carole Vilardo.

Civil society and freedom, not big government and politics,

Commentary:
Official Claptrap 2
Independent economists
said over two years ago that Guinn administration
justifications for the huge 2003 tax increases were not
credible. A reprise on a key commentary, now that state
revenues have proved it, and the independent economists it
reported on, correct.

The March
2003 CPR Study:
The famed first analysis released in March 2003 by Demographic
Solutions, Inc. of the Guinn administration's proposed
2003-2005 budget. Originally
dismissed
by administration and other tax proponents, the CPR study's
revenue and expense forecasts were subsequently proven
sound, while the official forecasts proved political in the
worst sense.
