Gov. Josh Green’s picks to lead the Department of Taxation and the Budget and Finance Department saw initial support from the Senate’s Ways and Means committee on Monday.
Known as the Green Affordability Plan, the proposal has been touted as the Governor’s way to lower the cost of living for residents by restricting the state's income tax brackets, increasing tax credits for families beginning next year and creating tax credits for teacher expenses.
Gov. Josh Green has officially named a director for every state department. Most nominees have decades of experience in related government agencies, while a handful of people come from the private sector.
