In this edition of the Tax Policy Podcast, we continue our discussion of state budget shortfalls. Tax Foundation Manager of Media Relations Matt Moon talks with Peter Nelson, Policy Fellow with the Center of the American Experiment in Minneapolis, a nonpartisan, tax-exempt public policy organization focusing on free market ideas for Minnesota and the nation. Peter discusses Governor Tim Pawlenty's budget proposal for 2009-10 and makes recommendations to Minnesota lawmakers on how the current fiscal situation may be an opportunity to enact tax reform in the North Star State.
Tax Foundation Director of State Projects Joseph Henchman just released his special report: State Budget Shortfalls Present a Tax Reform Opportunity. Don't forget to visit the Tax Foundation's Center for State Fiscal Policy for the latest research and data on state and local taxes.
