Promoting Transparency in Tax Expenditures

April 15th is Tax Day, and Common Cause Rhode Island wants to bring transparency to the tax breaks granted by our state. That’s why we’re supporting H 5718 and S 526 which propose changes to the State’s Tax Expenditure Report. The Tax Expenditure Report is supposed to be the single source of information for how tax breaks are accounted for in Rhode Island. A recently released report demonstrates the deficiencies in the Rhode Island document. Read the letter we sent to Rhode Island leaders asking for greater transparency.
