What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ralph Hise criticized North Carolina's current tax rates, arguing they make the state less competitive in attracting business and jobs. Voters in North Carolina will decide on a constitutional amendment that would cap the state income tax rate at 3.5%. Currently, the personal income tax rate is 3.99%, and it is scheduled to fall to 3.49% in 2027.

Hise noted that Tennessee, a neighboring state, does not have a personal income tax. The proposed constitutional amendment would prevent the State of North Carolina from raising the income tax rate above 3.5% in the future.
