A Town Hall Forum with Senator Amy Sinclair and Representative Jon Thorup was held in Knoxville last week. RepresentativeThorup discussed with KNIA/KRLS News the significance of the tax bill that was recently passed.

“All economics are theories. This one is a concept that you have to draw in as many families and businesses to the state in order to stay competitive with the other states. One thing we can’t do is offer great weather. It’s beautiful most of the time but there are times when it’s horrible. People will want a warmer climate and a lot of the warmer states have no income tax so it makes it more enticing to move there. It’s the same with the business we want businesses to thrive here as well.”
