REC/GOV/077. State Tax Revenue and Related Fiscal Policy, Bipartisan Commission on.

In 1981, the General Assembly created a bipartisan commission to “conduct a study and undertake an analysis of state tax revenue, state tax laws, administration of state tax laws, and state fiscal policy in relation to tax revenue.” The twenty-seven member Commission began holding meetings in early 1982 and issued preliminary findings, recommendations, and opinions. The committee also invited public comment by mail and at five public hearings. The commission’s final report was submitted to Governor William O’Neill in January 1983. This collection documents the committee’s activities and includes transcripts of meetings (including sound recordings), written comments from the public, background information, administrative files and correspondence. Also included is an annotated copy of the final report.
