St. George • Utah lawmakers say the time has come for tax reform, and have created a special task force to tour the state, hear feedback from residents and, eventually, draft recommendations for how to update the tax code.
That task force recently completed a swing through southern Utah, holding town hall meetings in Richfield and St. George. Those meetings, like others in Salt Lake County and Box Elder County, were well-attended, with residents voicing a range of concerns about whether, and how, to update the state’s tax code without hurting rural economies, small businesses, taxpayers and Utah’s public schools.
