Tax Foundation Experts Testifying in California, Indiana, and Minnesota

As state officials struggle to reprioritize services and evaluate their tax systems, Tax Foundation experts are accepting invitations to appear and answer questions from legislators and their staff. Popular subjects at the moment are how a state’s tax system compares to other states, the impact of taxes on economic growth and job creation, and the opportunity for tax reform at a time of fiscal challenge.

Here are some upcoming appearances by Tax Foundation staff:
