State Business Tax Climate Index Tour, Part II: Bill Felkner of the Ocean State Policy Research Institute (Rhode Island)
Last month, the Tax Foundation released the 2009 State Business Tax Climate Index, a measure of the "business-friendliness" of each state's tax system, providing a roadmap for state lawmakers concerned with keeping their states tax-competitive. In Part Two of the Tax Policy Podcast's Index Tour, we talk with Bill Felkner, President of the Ocean State Policy Research Institute in Providence. Rhode Island moved up from 49th to 46th on the Index, and Felkner provides some thoughts on the improvement and what can be done to move the state up further.
