The goal of this project is to provide both a resource base and analytical research on topics related to federal and state tax policy. Although the Web site is under development, it will contain a comprehensive resource base of information relating to legislative and citizen initiatives dealing with state and local taxation issues. Additionally, this site will contain useful background information on important topics on the national agenda correlated to fiscal revenues, expenditures and economic growth.
