Rebekah Gorbea from Tennessee 4 All talks about their legislative agenda for 2025. The first is repealing the grocery tax in Tennessee, up for discussion for the second year. A regressive tax in which lower income families are more affected by rising prices than those who benefit from the absence of an income tax. Bills HB02 and SB02 would close corporate loopholes to offset the revenue loss.. The supermajority and the Governor are wary of upsetting the multimillion dollar corporations that pay little to no taxes and receive tax breaks and refunds. Other bills that would benefit working people are also discussed in the program. 

Participation in the legislative process is encouraged and Capitol.TN.gov is a resource.
