44 state tax systems worsen income inequality.
When the lowest-income households pay the greatest share of their income in state and local taxes, gaps between the wealthy and everyone else grow larger.

New breakdown of DC's tax deal:
No, not THAT tax deal. I mean the DC Tax Revision Commission's once-in-a-decade examination of the District's local tax code.
Here's a look at the draft recommendations: a child tax credit, graduated property tax & more ⬇️

Many states' and localities school funding systems, including the systems to raise the revenues in the first place, are rooted in a pre-Brown past: racist in origin and in continuing impact. Kudos for tackling head-on.
I am SO excited to share what Saba and I have been up to! @BrownsPromise @SouthernEdFound (also, I managed to lock myself out of twitter today, so I'm a little slow on the post!)
