The Salt Lake Tribune
A proposal to create a one-rate income tax devoid of any deductions or exemptions may not be thriving in the Legislature's tax reform task force, but it's far from dying.
'Rumors of its demise may have been exaggerated,' said Rep. Greg Hughes, R-Draper, a member of the task force that voted Wednesday to request state lawyers draft legislation for a 4 percent flat tax.
That move came just days after Senate President John Valentine, a Republican, publicly criticized the proposal, saying it shifts too much of the tax burden to the poor. "
