DuBose Porter in the news

State House Minority Leader DuBose Porter recently shared his thoughts on the GlennTax:

The new plan, he said, would create an additional $1 billion paid out of Georgia in federal taxes because people are unable to itemize sales tax deductions when filing taxes. In addition, the tax on services some businesses would have to pay would outweigh what they pay in property taxes, he said.

"Because of that kind of shift, I'm not going to be able to support that change," said Porter, state House minority leader.
[...]
Instead of getting rid of property taxes completely, Porter suggested raising the homestead exemption and giving a break on property taxes that way.

Porter also said that he was looking into a run for Governor in 2010.
