CJ: How will private school tax credit affect Kentucky schools? By Tessa Duvall, Louisville Courier Journal If some Kentucky legislators have their way, more than $25 million of what otherwise would be taxes paid to the state could be redirected to private schools. But that money could be just the beginning, based on what happened in other states that passed similar programs allowing businesses and individuals to donate money for scholarships to private schools in exchange for lucrative tax breaks. Some states have seen their loss of tax revenue explode after their initially modest programs ballooned into initiatives that couldn't keep up with the demand for more scholarships, according to a Courier Journal analysis.

RIDES Q&A: the US & KY not advancing in EV encouragement By Tom Waggener Hi Vonnie, Thanks for your question about what our country is doing. Not to get too political, but under the current administration, moves towards advancing electric vehicles in reducing dependence on oil and gas and diesel has taken a bit of a step back. Many of the tax incentives for electric vehicle purchases are going to end and not get renewed. In our own state there have been many moves to add extra taxes to electric vehicles and to de-incentivize rooftop solar - both things that would help in the future. Certain states are taking moves towards speeding adoption of electric vehicles, namely California, which offers many state tax incentives, mandates solar systems on any new construction home, and has set a goal of going completely renewable by the year 2050 in terms of its utilities. 2019-03-12 09:47:17 | Comments | Printable version
