(Paducah,KY, May 29, 2012) – The first of several public hearings by the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Tax Reform (TRC) was in Paducah on a warm Tuesday evening. Eleven committee members, including state legislators serving as ex officio participants, sat in a long row on the stage at Paducah Tilghman High School Auditorium.
They were there to hear suggestions on amending the current tax code. Governor Beshear's charge to them is to come up with a road map to make it fair, competitive, simple to comply with, elastic to meet changing conditions and adequate to meet the needs of the Commonwealth.
