ND tax cut supporters backing $150M in reductions

BISMARCK (AP) — Supporters of tax cuts say they're afraid the North Dakota Legislature won't go far enough in reducing taxes.

BISMARCK (AP) — Supporters of tax cuts say they're afraid the North Dakota Legislature won't go far enough in reducing taxes.

A group of conservative organizations is rallying Tuesday in the state Capitol. They say the Republican Legislature should approve at least $150 million in permanent corporate and individual income tax reductions.

Lawmakers are considering a bill that cuts income taxes by $111 million. The rate reductions would be in effect for only two years.

North Dakota Taxpayers Association director Dustin Gawrylow says the $150 million in tax cuts should be a minimum reduction, and they should be permanent.

North Dakota Policy Council director Brett Narloch (NAHR’-lawk) says the Legislature has a healthy budget surplus. Narloch says lawmakers could be letting a tax-cutting opportunity slip away.
