An economist from a conservative policy organization that produces model legislation for states is urging Arizona to pass the savings from last year’s federal tax cut legislation on to taxpayers, echoing calls from some Republican state lawmakers who want a lame-duck special session next month.
In an op-ed in the Washington Timeson Tuesday, Jonathan Williams, the chief economist at the American Legislative Exchange Council, wrote that Gov. Doug Ducey and Republican lawmakers should conform Arizona’s tax code with the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Williams wrote that Arizona should use the extra revenue that would generate to cut other taxes, as several other states have done.
