North Carolina Income Tax Referendum May Imperial AAA Rating

 

The Bond Buyer has an article about a bill being considered by the North Carolina legislature that would ask voters to amend the state’s constitution to lower the state income tax rate to 5.5% from 10%.  The change would push the state into greater reliance on sales taxes.

Certain legislatures are concerned that if approved by voters the change would imperial the state’s AAA/Aaa rating.
