Georgia's $16 billion tax gamble

Rule Changes

Led the income tax elimination committee

A Georgia Senate committee voted 6-3 along party lines to eliminate the state's income tax by 2032, starting with exempting the first $50,000 for individuals and $100,000 for couples in January 2027. The move would immediately blow a $3 billion hole in the state budget mid-fiscal year, eventually eliminating a $16 billion revenue stream that funds schools, healthcare, and infrastructure.
