Lawmakers Pass Bill Promising Substantial Tax Refunds and Cuts for Tennessee Businesses
Debate Ensues Over Transparency and Fairness of Business Tax Refund Bill as it Heads to Governor’s Desk
According to WKRN.COM on the last day of Tennessee‘s lawmaking time lawmakers passed a big bill. It promises to give lots of money back to businesses in the state. Sen. Bo Watson and the Republicans are behind it. They say it will give businesses $1.6 billion in tax refunds for three years. Plus it will cut taxes by $400 million every year. They think it will help Tennessee’s economy.
Some people like the bill because they say it will help businesses and create jobs. But others like Sen. Jeff Yarbro and Sen. Heidi Campbell have worries. They think it’s not fair or clear enough. The bill says businesses’ names and how much they get back will be public for 30 days. But some Democrats say it’s not detailed enough. They think everyone should know exactly how much each business is getting. Now the bill goes to Governor Bill Lee. People are watching to see what he’ll do. Some think the bill is good for Tennessee’s money and business. Others are worried it’s not fair to regular people. Whatever happens this bill is a big deal for Tennessee. It could change things for a long time.
