Christine Ries, Professor in the School of Economics, was interviewed by Tax Foundation for a Tax Policy Podcast. In the interview, Ries describes her recent experience serving as a member of Georgia’s Special Council on Tax Reform and Fairness. The council recently completed its deliberations and presented state lawmakers with a list of recommendations, including eliminating special exemptions and credits, lowering income tax rates and broadening the base of the sales tax. Ries is not an official spokesperson for the council; the views she discusses are her own and are not intended to represent the entire council. Source: Tax Foundation - January 20, 2011
