This bill takes a balanced approach to the fiscal crisis by raising revenue to maintain the services we need and value. By asking more from high-income households and investors who received large windfalls from the federal tax cuts while raising the personal exemption as a way to hold down the increase for middle-class families, the legislation raises needed revenue primarily from those who can best afford to pay.
