“Accepting [the proposed tax-reform recommendations] could put Georgia on the forefront of tax reform by shifting the tax burden from income taxes to sales taxes," said Georgia Tax Reform Council member Christine Ries, a professor in the School of Economics. She added, “States that aren't reforming are instead boosting taxes on a smaller and smaller number of taxpayers and suffering as a result. With this proposal, we are poised to take the lead among all of these other forward-looking states.” Source: Morris News Service – January 8, 2011 (Atlanta Journal Constitution, etc.)
