CNS News– In a show of support for the Grocery Tax Bill, volunteers across ten counties in Tennessee petitioned grocery stores over the weekend, collecting signatures to advocate for its passage. Sponsored by Senator Charlene Oliver and Representative Aftyn Behn, the bill seeks to alleviate financial burdens on families by closing loopholes and ensuring fair taxation.
The proposed legislation aims to rectify the taxation of groceries, which has long been a contentious issue in the state. By closing loopholes and ensuring corporations pay their fair share, the bill aims to provide relief to working-class individuals struggling to make ends meet.
Volunteers emphasized the importance of eliminating the grocery tax, particularly in light of rising living costs. They argued that by freeing up more disposable income, families would be better able to meet their basic needs and improve their overall quality of life.
