Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders said she remains focused on reducing the state income tax to zero, despite some who have expressed concerns about fully eliminating the tax that could lead to a reduction in state services.

In a wide-ranging interview on this week’s edition of Talk Business & Politics and Capitol View, Sanders also said she planned to remain governor of Arkansas if Donald Trump reclaims the presidency this election cycle.

The interview was taped on Thursday (June 20) and aired statewide on Sunday (June 23).

AG Rutledge Proposes Eliminating State Income Tax by 2030 Through Constitutional Amendment

by Roby Brock (roby@talkbusiness.net)

Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, Republican candidate for Arkansas governor, announced Thursday (July 22) she would lead a constitutional amendment campaign to abolish the state income tax for individuals.

Calling it the “first phase of her economic initiative,” she said, “the Rutledge Plan is a grassroots effort to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to permanently eliminate Arkansas’ personal income tax.”

“For too long Arkansas politicians have talked about doing away with the state income tax, but it’s time to stop talking and start doing. I’m running for Governor to ‘Make Arkansas First,’ in job creation and economic development. I don’t just want to compete – I want to beat our neighboring states of Tennessee, Texas, and Florida,” she said in announcing the initiative.
